Farrow & Ball

Raw Tomatillo

No. CB6

Raw Tomatillo is a mid-toned green from Farrow & Ball with an LRV of 55.7 and slight blue undertones that give it a cooler cast than a pure leaf green. At hex #6F9C60 it reads as a muted sage-to-grass green depending on available light. It reflects enough light to work on full walls in kitchens or garden rooms without becoming oppressive.

Lichen and French Gray from Farrow & Ball share a similar muted quality while Pointing or Wimborne White provide clean contrast on trim. Hague Blue can anchor a bolder coordinated scheme.
