Garden Green

Green usually belongs to vegetation rather than paint — grass, agave and dense garden foliage forming a changing natural plane beside permanent architectural walls. Painted surfaces are controlled; a garden is not, and that difference is the point. Morning light can make grass appear yellow and bright; dry seasons pull the same wall toward a dustier olive-brown, and nearby agave settles into a cooler, blue-tinted green.

Vivid grass can make an adjacent pink wall read warmer by contrast; a dark garden can turn a plain window into a continuously changing picture. Green completes the palette without ever becoming another architectural coating — it is the one color in the system that keeps moving, which is why it is recorded here as a living range rather than a fixed paint specification.
