FAQ
Can I paint a whole room in the deep green?
#617865 has an LRV of 17, so it reads quite dark. It works best in a small room, a study, or a single feature wall. In a bright room, use it in textiles or smaller pieces instead.
If I only choose one color for the walls, which should it be?
Choose #C7D686. It has an LRV of 62, which keeps the room light. The other greens then sit well against it as furniture, trim, and textiles.
What is the slate blue for?
#334D5A has an LRV of 7 and a cool blue undertone. Use it in small amounts, such as a door, bookcase, or lamp base. It gives the greens something to lean against.
