Olive Drab

8003-28G

Olive Drab is a dark yellow-green with a military olive character. Its brown-green depth works hard in mudrooms with black hardware. The color can suit a mudroom or exterior trim when clean sage feels too soft.

Try warm white walls and black hardware for structure. In direct sun, the yellow side shows more clearly. In shadow, it moves toward brown-green, so sample both exposures. That bluntness matters.
