Olive Green

#6b7140

Olive Green is darker and grayer than the book's Olive, a muted army green with a soft yellow undertone, like dried thyme or canvas left out in the weather. At 5.2:1 against white it is dark enough to carry body text on a white page, which is unusual for a green this soft; black on it, at 4.1:1, is weaker. Olive Ocher pairs with it in a warm, all-earth harmony, Ivory Buff gives a parchment-and-ink effect, and Eugenia Red | B adds a rosy red that brings the olive to life. Use it for field-guide style print, garden furniture, and tailored outerwear.
