Farrow & Ball

Breakfast Room Green

No. 81

Breakfast Room Green is a mid-toned green with warm yellow undertones that keep it from reading too cool or minty. With an LRV of 62.2, it reflects a moderate amount of light and maintains a clear green presence on walls. It works well in rooms with morning light, kitchens, and garden-facing spaces.

For trim and ceilings, Farrow & Ball's White Tie or Wimborne White provide a clean border. Darker tones like Tanner's Brown or Down Pipe add depth on doors or built-ins, and softer olive or sage tones can extend the green range in adjacent rooms.

Breakfast Room Green 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.
