What color is Farrow and Ball Bancha?
Farrow and Ball Bancha 298 is a deep, muted olive green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it from reading too cool. Its low saturation gives it an earthy, slightly weathered appearance rather than a bright botanical green. In bright daylight, the green comes forward more clearly, while lower light can make it appear darker and more brown-olive. It has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry, a library wall, or a small cloakroom where a darker finish feels intentional. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, and stone or terracotta surfaces to draw out its grounded character.

What are Farrow and Ball Bancha undertones?
Bancha reads as a muted, mid-depth yellow-green with a grounded olive character rather than a bright botanical green. In the supplied digital sample, its relative undertone bias leans yellow, which helps the green feel earthy and slightly warmer than a blue-leaning green; Farrow & Ball’s provided page does not describe a specific undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-olive side, while cool daylight can make the green component appear clearer.

Complementary color scheme
This color scheme is a combination of two shades that are opposite each other on the color wheel. The high contrast between these colors creates a vibrant and dynamic visual effect.

LRV of Bancha
Bancha has an LRV of 13.28% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 13.28%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
