# Farrow and Ball Lichen

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/lichen](https://plan-home.com/color/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.
