Quaking Bog

5005-2C

Quaking Bog is a very dark olive gray with a muddy green undertone. It feels boggy and dense. Choose it for a moody study, mudroom cabinetry, or exterior trim where subtle green matters.

Cream trim helps separate the color from black. In rooms with weak light, the olive may nearly disappear. A sample beside hardware and flooring will show whether the green still registers.

Quaking Bog 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.

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.
