Early recipes for olive green seem to have been a browny hue but by the C19th the addition of Prussian blue meant that it was a full green close to the colour of a plump Mediterranean olive. Too dark and the colour tends to black when in the shade, so I have kept it a strong mid tone. It can be a great woodwork colour and is also robust enough for exterior use. Painting a greener future, our Light Olive Green is derived from natural sources like plant oils and mineral pigments.
Love this Light Olive Green colour, its like the purest olive oil!

We have created this calculator to help you estimate the amount of paint you will need for your project. Please note that this is only an estimate, based on normal surfaces with two coats of paint.
Please check our practical painting advice - if you are painting onto a very absorbent surface, you may need more paint, and for best results, you may need to prime your surfaces.
