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.
