Best Olive Green Paint Colors

Olive is green with a lot of yellow in it, so it reads warm and earthy rather than cool. Mid-tone olives work on walls and cabinets; deep ones suit studies, doors and exteriors. Good places to start: Tapenade (Benjamin Moore), Ecological (Behr), Dark Celery (Benjamin Moore).

How we picked: Green colors with a yellow-green hue, some visible color and an LRV between 8 and 45. Widely used colors come first. Values are from published color data, so check a sample on your own wall before buying.
