Wall paint - Lichen No. 19

About Lichen No. 19

Lichen is a muted green that calls to mind lichen on trees, evoking the beauty of nature. It has a slight blue undertone and pairs very well with the lighter Vert De Terre.

Color Impact & Light

Lichen brings nature into the home and, depending on the light, feels at times fresh, and at others deep and cozy. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combining like the pros

The official complementary white for Lichen is Slipper Satin, ideal for ceilings, trims, and adjacent surfaces. Color schemes recommended by Farrow & Ball: Setting Plaster & Light Blue · Slipper Satin & Lime White · Old White & Vert de Terre · Off-Black & Studio Green.

The right primer

For optimal coverage and durability, Farrow & Ball recommends the corresponding primer for Lichen: Primer & Undercoat Mid Tones.
