Dark green olive

Olive No. 893 combines earthy density with a gentle patina, creating a balanced, understated yet characterful presence.

Olive 893 is a muted, medium-dark olive tone with a warm, slightly brownish undertone and medium brightness. The saturation is subdued, giving the color a restrained quality. The temperature leans noticeably towards warmth without becoming yellowish. From a perceptual psychology perspective, the tone has a protective, grounding, and mature effect; it evokes images of aged uniforms, olive groves, and sun-dried earth, and complements spaces intended to exude calm and stability.

Historically, Olive 893 is associated with military and artisanal contexts, where robust fabrics and functional clothing developed their own distinct aesthetic. In fashion, a similar tone is used today in utility wear, structured coats, and high-quality leather accessories, often combined with heavy cotton fabrics or wool. In interiors, it lends itself to dining areas, studies, and entryways where a warm, yet not sentimental, atmosphere is desired. On panels, linen curtains, or upholstery, Olive 893 creates a subdued presence that blends with oak, walnut, terracotta tiles, and oxidized metal surfaces. Color-wise, it harmonizes with warm neutrals, dusty blue, and aged red, while crisp off-white and dark black can add accentuating lines. The hue bridges the gap between country-inspired interiors and urban loft settings, remaining consistently controlled and timeless.
