What color is Little Greene Invisible Green?

Little Greene Invisible Green 56 is a deeply shadowed olive with a strong brown-black cast, drawn from its low, earthy yellow-green base. In bright daylight, its olive character becomes more apparent; under lamplight or in north-facing rooms, it can read almost charcoal with a softened green undertone. It suits studies, dining rooms, and snug hallways where a dark wall color can give architectural details more definition. Use it on cabinetry or a single painted wall with aged brass, dark wood, tan leather, and warm off-white trim. Pale stone, muted ochre, and clay-toned textiles help draw out its grounded, organic side.

What are Little Greene Invisible Green undertones?

Invisible Green is a near-black, heavily muted color with a dark olive-yellow cast rather than a clearly green appearance. Its visible bias leans slightly green within that yellow-based depth, so it can read as an earthy black-olive on walls, especially in lower light. Under warm artificial lighting, the yellow-olive side may become more noticeable, while cool daylight may make its greenish cast appear a little clearer.
