What color is Farrow and Ball Lichen?
Farrow and Ball Lichen 19 is a muted yellow-green with a noticeable grey cast, giving it the look of softened lichen or weathered olive paint. Its medium-light depth keeps it present on walls without reading overly dark, while the restrained saturation prevents it from feeling bright or sharp. In daylight, Lichen tends to show its earthy green character more clearly; under warmer artificial light, it can lean toward a subdued khaki-grey. It suits kitchens, boot rooms, studies, and garden-facing spaces, particularly on cabinetry or full walls. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, stone floors, and deeper charcoal accents for a grounded palette.

What are Farrow and Ball Lichen undertones?
Lichen appears to be a mid-light, muted green with a noticeable yellow cast, giving it an earthy, softened character rather than a crisp or bright one. The supplied digital sample leans slightly yellow-green, so its undertone reads as a relative yellow warmth within the overall green family. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “mid aged green,” which aligns with its visibly subdued green appearance. Warm artificial light may bring forward more of its yellowed warmth, while cool daylight can make the green aspect appear clearer and a little more restrained.

Complementary color scheme

LRV of Lichen
Lichen has an LRV of 34.47% 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 34.47%, 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.
