Swampwater

3008-7B

Swampwater is a muted mustard olive, much more refined than the name suggests. It has a dry, earthy cast. Use it in a den, mudroom, or on lower cabinets with warm wood and simple hardware.

At LRV 35, it sits at the edge of deep and mid. Good lighting keeps it from going brown, especially in rooms with small windows.
