About avocado
Avocado is a warm yellow-green pulled from the fruit's skin — the 1970s appliance color the 2020s rehabilitated. Heavier yellow loading than olive gives it a retro warmth, and mid-LRV keeps it from feeling oppressive on full walls. It reads moodier in north light and almost golden under incandescent.
Use it on kitchen cabinets, a dining-room wall, or a vintage-feel powder room. Pair with walnut, brass, terracotta, and cream — never crisp white. Designer alternatives: BM Dark Celery, SW Ancient Marble, F&B Sap Green.
