The Analysis
Olympic Range is a deep, dark forest green that absorbs a significant amount of light due to its low LRV of 6.74. It will make a room feel smaller and more intimate, acting as a grounding element that pulls the walls inward.
It works best as a moody, immersive wall color for smaller rooms or as a sophisticated, high-contrast accent wall. It is too heavy to serve as a neutral backdrop for a whole-home color scheme.
LRV 7History & Origin
This is a classic, heritage-inspired shade that mimics the Victorian-era love for dark, saturated earth tones. It feels sophisticated and traditional rather than trendy or modern.
How to Use It
Pair this with warm wood tones like walnut or teak to balance the cool green, and use aged brass hardware to add a necessary pop of brightness. It performs best in rooms where you want a cozy, den-like atmosphere, such as a study or a bedroom.
The Mood
This color is inherently restful and grounding, mimicking the stillness of a dense forest. It is not an energizing color, but rather one that encourages focus and provides a quiet, stable atmosphere.
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.
