What color is Farrow and Ball Saxon Green?

Farrow and Ball Saxon Green 80 is a muted mid-tone green with a soft yellow-olive cast, giving it the look of foliage softened by a little grey. Its moderate saturation keeps it grounded rather than bright, so it can hold its own on full walls without feeling sharp. In brighter daylight, this shade reads as a gently weathered green, while lower or warmer light can bring forward its earthy olive side. Try it in a kitchen on cabinetry, in a study, or on exterior woodwork alongside warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, and stone. Deep charcoal, muted clay, and linen-colored textiles provide useful contrast without pulling attention away from the green.

What are Farrow and Ball Saxon Green undertones?

Saxon Green is a mid-light, muted yellow-green with a soft, understated level of color. It reads mainly as green, with a noticeable yellow bias that gives it a slightly earthy, softened character rather than a crisp blue-green look. Farrow & Ball describes it as a light traditional green, which fits the sample’s gentle green appearance. Warm artificial light may bring its yellow-green side forward, while cool daylight can make the green feel a little clearer and less warm.
