Whipped Pistachio

8002-30D

Whipped Pistachio is a light yellow green with a creamy, nutty softness. More color than off white. A kitchen, sunroom, laundry room, or cottage bedroom can use its fresh green note.

Butcher block, white tile, and warm brass sit naturally beside it. At LRV 54, it sits at middle depth and can feel stronger on full walls than expected. Test beside cabinets.

Whipped Pistachio 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.
