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.

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 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.
