Olive grey
Olive grey is a greige paint color from RAL Classic, but its character reaches beyond a single label. An LRV of 22.1 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
