Sleepy Hamlet

8002-26G

Sleepy Hamlet is a deep mustard olive with a brown-gold base. It is not sleepy. The color brings old-world warmth to a library nook, dining room, or painted cabinet piece.

Because it has limited light reflectance, it needs lamps and lighter nearby surfaces. Cream trim makes the olive feel intentional. Cool gray floors can turn it drab. Test near any brass, since similar yellow undertones can stack up quickly.
