What color is Farrow and Ball Card Room Green?
Farrow and Ball Card Room Green 79 is a muted green-gray with a soft olive cast and a gently weathered appearance. Its mid-tone depth keeps it grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective for full walls in studies, dining rooms, or hallways. In cooler daylight, the gray side of this color may come forward, while warmer lamps can draw out its subdued green and earthy character. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, and linen upholstery for a layered, lived-in interior. It also has enough presence for cabinetry or a painted bookcase without making those features feel overly dark.

What are Farrow and Ball Card Room Green undertones?
Card Room Green reads as a mid-depth, heavily muted grey-green with a soft, low-saturation character. In the supplied digital sample, its subtle bias leans slightly yellow-green, though that undertone is faint rather than strongly defined. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “dark grey green,” which matches its visibly subdued green family and prominent grey cast. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly earthier, yellower impression, while cool daylight may make the grey-green aspect appear cleaner and more restrained.

LRV of Card Room Green
Card Room Green has an LRV of 27% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 27%, 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.
