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.
Pine Frost is a pale, frosted green that reads almost as a tinted white in bright light and as a soft silvery sage in shade. At LRV 65 it is light enough for a whole bedroom yet has enough pigment to feel like a decision. There is no sweetness in it — the grey keeps it cool and quiet.
