Farrow & Ball

Reduced Green

No. 313

Reduced Green is a dark, earthy tone that leans brown-green, with olive and khaki undertones giving it a distinctly natural quality. Hex #5C594B, it has an LRV of 34.8, meaning it absorbs a fair amount of light and reads as a mid-to-dark neutral on walls. It works well in studies, boot rooms, and panelled spaces where a grounded backdrop is needed.

Farrow & Ball colors like School House White and Shadow White provide clean contrast against it, while Hague Blue, Card Room Green, and Railings complement its depth without competing for attention.
