Farrow & Ball

Bancha

No. 298

Bancha is a deep olive green with warm yellow undertones and a noticeably low light reflectance. With an LRV of 40.4, it absorbs light and reads darker in north-facing rooms or at night. It is typically used on cabinetry, lower walls, or full rooms where a grounded dark is needed.

For a warm neutral surround, Joa’s White and Oxford Stone keep transitions soft. For a darker, related green, Studio Green is a close companion, and Lichen can be used to step the palette lighter without leaving the green family.

Bancha in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
