Olive is made when you mix the three primary paint colours together - mostly blue with a little yellow and red or green (blue and yellow)and purple (blue and red)

2 parts blue, 1 part yellow, 1 part red

If they were equally mixed then you would have the perfect grey

Olive with beiges and browns feels natural - great for this dolls house room!

Olive works well in an eating space
