Prairie Foliage

6008-2C

Prairie Foliage is a smoky brown green, closer to dry sagebrush than leaf green. Its low value makes the green read closer to olive brown. It belongs on cabinets, exterior trim, or a den where the earthiness can feel intentional.

The golden undertone works with oak and aged leather. Very cool LEDs can dull it, so sample with the bulbs already in the room before choosing finish and sheen.

Prairie Foliage in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
