How they read
In their own wordsAegean Olive is a deep, grayed olive that sits closer to bronze and khaki than to anything leafy. With an LRV just under 12 it behaves like a dark neutral: it wraps a room, dissolves corners and makes cane, rattan and aged brass look expensive. It is the green you choose when you do not want the room to read as green.
Duck Green No. W55 is a deep, strong but subdued green named after the plumage of a mallard. It is a Farrow & Ball Archive colour, made to order.
