Read from the numbersOlympian Green leans warm where Pine Frost reads cool. Both belong to the green family.
How they read
In their own wordsOlympian Green is Edward Bulmer's clear, lively lime — made from ultramarine and yellow pigments, with the warmth of chartreuse. The brand's own line is that it is 'a lime green without being a slime green', and on the wall that is exactly right.
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.
