What color is Farrow and Ball Raw Tomatillo?

Farrow and Ball Raw Tomatillo CB6 is a medium, softly muted green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it on the warmer, earthier side of the spectrum. Its #6f9c60 value suggests a natural leaf-green depth: present enough for cabinetry or an accent wall, yet gentle enough to use across a small room. In bright daylight, Raw Tomatillo can read fresher and clearer, while lower or cooler light may bring out its more subdued olive character. Try it on kitchen cabinets with warm white walls, aged brass hardware, and pale wood, or use it in a garden-facing room alongside terracotta, stone, and linen textiles.

What are Farrow and Ball Raw Tomatillo undertones?

Raw Tomatillo reads as a midtone, softly muted green with clear color presence rather than a gray-green look. The digital sample leans slightly yellow within its green family, giving it a fresh, leafy character instead of a cool blue-green cast. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “verdant green,” which aligns with its visibly green main color family, though the supplied HEX alone cannot confirm a paint-formula undertone. Warm artificial light may bring its yellow-green bias forward, while cool daylight can make it appear a little cleaner and more purely green.
