What color is Farrow and Ball Sap Green?

Farrow and Ball Sap Green 56 is a muted, mid-depth olive green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it earthy rather than forest-like. Its softened saturation gives walls a settled, lived-in appearance, especially in kitchens, studies, and dining rooms. In brighter daylight, the yellow-green side is more apparent, while lower light can draw out its quieter khaki and greyed olive character. Use it on cabinetry or full walls with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and linen textiles for a grounded palette. It also pairs well with clay-toned neutrals and deep brown woods.

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 20.88%, 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.
