Olive Smudge

6001-2C

Olive Smudge sits as a very dark olive-gray with a brown undertone. The brown undertone makes it quieter than a true green-black. Use it on doors or a small study where a green-black would be too strong.

LRV 9 keeps it dark, so surrounding whites need enough brightness. Brass can reveal the olive. In flat paint, the color may look dull, so consider a washable low-sheen finish.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
