BILLIARD TABLE

Jotun · 7314

The Analysis

Billiard Table is a deep, muted olive green that absorbs light rather than reflecting it, which naturally makes a room feel more intimate and enclosed. Because it has a low Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 13.82, it won't brighten a space, but it will provide significant depth and structure to your walls.

This colour works best as a moody backdrop for living rooms, studies, or libraries where you want to lean into a sophisticated, cozy atmosphere. It is a bold choice for a primary wall colour that demands a well-thought-out lighting plan.

History & Origin

This shade leans into a classic heritage aesthetic, reminiscent of traditional wood-paneled clubs and Victorian-era studies. It provides a timeless, established look that feels anchored in tradition rather than current temporary trends.

How to Use It

Pair this with warm, honey-toned woods or natural leather to prevent the room from feeling too cold. For hardware, unlacquered brass adds a nice contrast, while matte black finishes will keep the look modern and sharp.

The Mood

Living with this shade is inherently restful and grounding, as its earthy tones mimic the stability of nature. It creates a quiet, focused environment that feels far less sterile than traditional whites or light grays.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
