Avocado
Avocado begins as a green color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. Its beige, greige and yellow classifications hint at the directions it may take as daylight, lamps and neighboring colors move around it. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
