Light Brownish Olive

#806e4b

Somewhere between brown and olive, Light Brownish Olive has the dull, earthy tone of a walnut shell or a dried oak leaf, with only a faint warm lean. It appears in two combinations, keeping company with dark greens such as Blackish Olive and Deep Slate Green, plus Ochre Red, a muted brick. Together they form a woodland palette with very little brightness. Its 4.9:1 ratio on white is enough for normal text, so it can work as a softer substitute for black on a light page. It suits tweed, natural stoneware, and earthy print stationery.
