Tarragon

6001-4C

Tarragon is shadowy olive brown, closer to dried herbs than fresh garden green. Its low LRV will swallow shadow, so reserve it for rooms with lamps, sheen, or pale adjacent surfaces. Use it to ground a den or mudroom where cream-painted trim and warm wood are already present.

On cabinets, satin adds durability and a little reflection, which keeps the color cleaner. In a dim corner, expect the brown side to show before the olive.

Tarragon in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
