How they read
In their own wordsCalke Green takes its name from the breakfast room at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, and it has the settled, slightly faded quality of a color that has been on a wall for two hundred years. It is a mid-tone green with enough grey to stay calm and enough yellow to stay warm — the green of gardens rather than forests.
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.
