# Behr Banana Leaf

Behr Banana Leaf HDC-MD-20 is a muted olive-yellow with a distinctly earthy, mid-depth appearance. Its golden green cast keeps it warm rather than sharp, while the softened saturation prevents it from reading like a bright botanical green. In daylight, this shade can show more of its yellow-olive character; lower or warmer light may make it appear browner and more subdued. Use Banana Leaf on cabinetry, a dining room wall, or an exterior door where its grounded color can hold its own. It pairs especially well with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, terracotta, and deep charcoal accents.
