Farrow & Ball

Sap Green

No. 199

Sap Green by Farrow & Ball is a mid-toned, muted green with warm earthy undertones. Its hex value is #747C51, and it has an LRV of 46.7, so it absorbs more light than it reflects and reads as a solid mid-range tone on the wall. The warmth in it leans slightly olive rather than cool or blue-green.

It works well in living rooms, studies, and cabinetry where a natural green is appropriate. Compatible Farrow & Ball colors include Pointing, Wimborne White, French Gray, Ball Green, and Lichen, which help balance its depth.
