What Color Is Pine Cone Pass, Really?
Pine Cone Pass reads as a cool green tone — dark — high drama, needs strong daylight or warm bulbs. The notes below cover how Behr T13-16 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Pine Cone Pass
Pine Cone Pass works best as a feature — a single wall, built-ins, a study or dining room — rather than wrapping a whole bright space. Greens bridge indoors and out, so they suit living rooms, kitchens and sunrooms.
How Lighting Changes Pine Cone Pass
With an LRV of 12, Pine Cone Pass is a deep, dramatic shade. It soaks up light in north-facing rooms and looks richest where strong daylight hits it. Its green undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. Warm artificial light softens it; cool LED can make it look flat, so match your bulbs to the mood you want.
Most complaints about Pine Cone Pass are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
Need It From Another Brand?
