What color is Farrow and Ball Calke Green?

Farrow and Ball Calke Green 34 is a muted mid-depth green with a softened, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading too bright. The #768769 color value gives it an earthy, leafy appearance, sitting between a traditional garden green and a subdued sage. In strong daylight, this shade can appear clearer and fresher, while lower or warmer light brings out its quieter, grayer side. It has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry, a study, or exterior woodwork, and can also create a grounded feature wall. Pair Calke Green with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, stone, and other understated materials that complement its restrained character.

What are Farrow and Ball Calke Green undertones?

Calke Green is a midtone, muted yellow-green with a soft, earthy sage character rather than a bright or sharply green look. The supplied digital sample shows a slight lean toward yellow within its green main family, which can make it read more olive-tinged than blue-green. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “rich and traditional sage green,” a description that fits its visibly subdued green character, though the manufacturer does not specify an undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellowed, olive side, while cool daylight can make the green aspect appear clearer and a little more restrained.

LRV of Calke Green

Calke Green has an LRV of 21.22% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 21.22%, 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.
