What color is Farrow and Ball Green Ground?

Farrow and Ball Green Ground 206 is a light, muted yellow-green with a soft, chalky cast rather than a bright botanical look. Its near-even red and green balance gives it a gentle olive-beige quality, while the reduced blue keeps the color noticeably warm. In daylight, it can read as a pale leafy neutral; under warmer lamps, its yellowed undertone becomes more apparent. Use it on walls in kitchens, bedrooms, or hallways where a low-contrast color is wanted, and pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen, aged brass, or deeper olive accents. Green Ground also suits cabinetry when a subdued alternative to cream or conventional gray is needed.

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 67.26%, 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.
