Farrow & Ball

Saxon Green

No. 80

Saxon Green is a muted green from Farrow & Ball carrying grey and yellow undertones that give it an earthy and subdued quality. With an LRV of 63.1 it reflects enough light to keep a room feeling open while still providing noticeable colour on the walls. It works well in living rooms and studies or kitchens that benefit from a natural tone without strong saturation.

Shaded White and Slipper Satin pair well as lighter companions and deeper shades like Railings and Studio Green or Teresa's Green help build a layered scheme.
