Manufacturer description
Little Greene Olive Colour 72 is a deep, muted yellow-green with an earthy, shadowed character. Its low brightness gives it real weight on walls, where it reads as a dark olive rather than a sharp green. In bright natural light, the green cast becomes clearer, while evening or north-facing light can draw out its brownish, almost mossy depth. Use Olive Colour on cabinetry, a study wall, or a dining room for a grounded backdrop, pairing it with warm off-whites, aged brass, dark wood, and natural linen. It also makes a strong exterior accent for doors or joinery against pale stone or soft cream render.
