Sigh of Relief

V098-3

Sigh of Relief is a softened green-gray that feels more herbal than minty. Its mid-depth body keeps the green-gray from washing out. The muted body works in bedrooms, entries, or a quiet office where a plain gray would feel too cold.

Daylight reveals the green side, especially near white trim. At night, the color settles into a gentle gray-green. Pair with linen shades or light oak, and avoid very yellow bulbs if freshness matters.
