Chrome Technical Profile
What color is Chrome? It's a dark cool green with the hex code #0C422F. Chrome has a cool (green) undertone, which affects how it pairs with trim, flooring, and adjacent wall colors. With an LRV of 7, Chrome creates a dramatic, enveloping mood — best on accent walls, dining rooms, and intimate spaces where atmosphere matters more than reflected light. Pair it with off-whites like Simply White, walnut or rift-cut oak floors, and mixed metals — brass for warmth, matte black for grounding. Terracotta and rust accents add warm contrast. Greens shift the most under different light. 2700K warms them toward olive or yellow-green; 4000K daylight reveals their true tone. Bluer greens especially benefit from north-facing daylight.
