I have noticed that avocado greens tend to shift toward olive or brown depending on the wood tones and window light in a room.
Midcentury furniture often brings out the warmer side of these shades while white trim can make them read cooler than expected.
Testing samples on the wall reveals the real behavior.
Undertones that look balanced in the can sometimes turn muddy next to certain flooring.
I usually check a couple against both morning light and evening shadows before deciding.
