Olive Buff
#c1c494
Olive Buff is a pale, greyish khaki with a green lean (a* of -7) and a soft yellow push, like dried sage leaves or weathered canvas. Violet Blue gives it a deep, dusky contrast; Pinkish Cinnamon warms it into a soft, earthy pastel pair; and Carmine Red makes a bold, almost botanical complement. At 1.8:1 on white it cannot carry text, while black type reads at 11.6:1. It works well for kitchen cabinets, linen upholstery, garden-themed stationery or a calm page background.
