Swiftly Green

3008-5C

Swiftly Green is a golden straw color with an olive undertone. Its golden olive base wants warm wood, not blue white trim or cool gray counters. A kitchen, breakfast area, or mudroom can handle it when warm wood already belongs.

It has enough strength to feel lively on cabinets or wainscoting. Cream casing, black hardware, or stone floors will steady the palette. In cool light, the olive side can become more noticeable.
