Slender Stem

V056-4

Slender Stem is a muted golden olive with a straw-brown base. The straw-olive undertone works well beside soapstone or oak. Try it in a dining room, entry, or mudroom when beige feels too ordinary.

On cabinets, it pairs well with soapstone or aged brass. North light may gray the olive side. Cream trim softens it, but bright white gives cleaner definition. Sample beside oak before using it wall to wall.
