What Acorn is
Acorn No. 87 is a pale green from Little Greene, described by the brand as "fresh and bright" and ideal for kitchens and conservatories.
It is a low-saturation yellow-green: chalky rather than minty, and close to a tinted white in bright rooms.
How it behaves in light
At an LRV around 65 it reflects plenty of light, which is why Little Greene recommends it for lifting dark interiors.
Its yellow lean shows most in sun; in shade it reads as a soft celadon.
Where to use it
