Zen Garden

6001-5C

Zen Garden is a softened yellow-green, close to sage with a warm citron edge. That yellow matters. It can make a bedroom or breakfast area feel relaxed if the wood tones are natural rather than red.

Cream trim will keep it friendly; bright white can make the green look sharper. Use a large sample near flooring, because this much yellow-green can shift quickly beside oak. Keep accent colors quiet until the wall color is settled.

Zen Garden 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.
