What color is Little Greene Citrine?

Little Greene Citrine 71 is a muted olive green with a noticeable yellow cast, sitting at a mid-to-dark depth rather than reading as a bright citrus tone. Its earthy, slightly dusty quality makes it feel grounded on walls in studies, dining rooms, or kitchens with natural wood. In daylight, Citrine can show more of its green character, while lower or warmer light brings forward its subdued ochre-olive side. Pair it with warm whites, clay neutrals, aged brass, oak, or walnut for a layered, material-led scheme. It also has enough weight for cabinetry, where it can create a calm contrast against pale stone or unlacquered metal hardware.

What are Little Greene Citrine undertones?

Citrine 71 reads as a midtone, muted yellow-green with clear color presence rather than a pale or neutral look. Its visible character leans yellow overall, while a slight green bias keeps it from looking like a straightforward golden yellow. The supplied digital sample appears soft rather than highly vivid, with enough depth to feel grounded on a wall. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow side, while cool daylight can make the green influence easier to notice.
