Spring Spirits

5003-1C

Spring Spirits is a medium green-gray with an olive cast. It feels subdued. Use it in an office, mudroom, or on built-ins where a muted green should feel practical.

Dim rooms may push it toward gray-brown. Daylight reveals the sage side. Cream trim works, and black hardware adds clarity. Avoid cool blue lighting, which can make the color feel flat.
