The difference
Read from the numbersCedar Grove leans cool where Olive Colour reads warm. Both belong to the green family.
How they read
In their own wordsCedar 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.
Olive Colour is one of Little Greene's Colours of England — a deep, muted yellow-green olive with a history: the brand quotes Mrs Delany, who in the 1700s 'painted her room a sort of olive green for her pictures'. It is rich, earthy and remarkably good behind art.
