Raw Tomatillo

28%LRV Value
Save

Raw Tomatillo is the most flexible accent family in residential paint — works as both a whole-room neutral when desaturated and a confident statement when saturated. At LRV 28 it carries real depth without going dark — a good choice for accent walls, libraries, and rooms with abundant natural light. Skip it only if your fixed finishes (flooring, stone, tile) already lean hard warm or cool enough to clash — otherwise it's one of the most forgiving families.

Raw Tomatillo Technical Profile

What color is Farrow & Ball Raw Tomatillo (CB6)? It's a deep cool green — hex #6F9C60, LRV 28. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Raw Tomatillo is Dunn-Edwards Grassy Knoll — a near-identical match on the wall, with Behr Parakeet and Vista Paint Jungle Birds also close. Its LRV of 28 gives Raw Tomatillo depth without going dark, which makes it a strong choice for accent walls, libraries, and rooms with abundant natural light. Pair it with off-whites like Simply White, walnut or rift-cut oak floors, and mixed metals — brass for warmth, matte black for grounding. Terracotta and rust accents add warm contrast. At mid saturation, this color sits at a flexible mid-point — bold enough to anchor a room without dominating, and pairs cleanly with both crisp and creamy whites. Greens shift the most under different light. 2700K warms them toward olive or yellow-green; 4000K daylight reveals their true tone. Bluer greens especially benefit from north-facing daylight. At mid saturation the lighting shift is moderate but real — sample under both warm-bulb evening light and cool-daylight morning light before committing.

Raw Tomatillo — Frequently Asked Questions

What colors match Raw Tomatillo from other brands?
The closest cross-brand equivalents to Raw Tomatillo are Grassy Knoll by Dunn-Edwards (a near-identical match), Parakeet by Behr (a near-identical match), Jungle Birds by Vista Paint (a very close match). These are ranked with the CIEDE2000 color-difference formula, which scores how similar two colors actually look to the eye rather than matching them by name — so they're the best options for getting Raw Tomatillo's look in a brand your local store carries. Always confirm with a physical sample, since sheen and lighting shift the final result.
What is the LRV of Raw Tomatillo?
Raw Tomatillo has a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 28.0, on a scale where 0 is pure black and 100 is pure white. That makes it a mid-depth color with real presence — strong on accent walls, libraries, and rooms with good natural light. LRV is the most reliable guide to how light or dark a paint will read in a real room — more dependable than the swatch on your screen, which varies by monitor.
