The difference
Read from the numbersPine Frost leans cool where Olive Colour reads warm. Both belong to the green family.
How they read
In their own wordsPine 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.
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.
