The difference
Read from the numbersOlive Colour leans warm where Cedar Grove reads cool. Both belong to the green family.
How they read
In their own wordsOlive 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.
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.
