About Laurel Tree
Laurel Tree (S390-5) is a deep, muted green from Behr that leans yellow. With an LRV of 29, Laurel Tree absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Laurel Tree's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, kitchen islands and cabinets and accent walls. Next to Clary Sage (PPU11-07), it's darker and cooler.
