How they read
In their own wordsBreakfast Room Green No. 81 is, in Farrow & Ball's words, "the most cheerful of all our greens, remaining lively in both bright sunlight or softer candlelight". The brand adds that it is particularly beautiful in the dawn light.
Cedar Grove is a mid-light sage — green enough to be clearly a color from across the room, grey enough never to look minty. At LRV 46 it sits in the sweet spot for a full-room green: it holds its tone in daylight and softens rather than muddies as the light fades.
