Cedar Glen

Behr · S350-7

The Analysis

Cedar Glen is a deep, earthy olive that absorbs a significant amount of light due to its low 12.9 LRV. Because it pulls light into the walls rather than reflecting it, the room will feel intimate and cozy rather than spacious or bright.

It works best as a moody backdrop in private spaces or as a bold focal point on cabinetry or trim. Avoid using it in small, windowless rooms, as the darkness can make the space feel compressed if not balanced with proper lighting.

LRV 13

History & Origin

This color aligns with the Heritage aesthetic, nodding to the natural, moody palettes common in late 19th-century arts and crafts interiors. It feels established and permanent rather than trendy or disposable.

How to Use It

This shade excels in libraries, dens, or kitchen cabinetry. Pair it with warm brass hardware to highlight the green undertones, or use matte black finishes to emphasize the modern, moody side of the color.

The Mood

This shade feels incredibly grounded and restful, mimicking the stability of the outdoors. It provides a quiet, focused environment that is excellent for unwinding, though it lacks the sharp energy of a bright, clean white.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
