Lilianna
What Lilianna Actually Looks Like
Lilianna lands somewhere between dried grass and soft olive. It is neither a true yellow nor a true green, sitting in that in-between zone that shifts noticeably depending on the light around it. In bright natural light it reads as a warm, faded yellow-green. Pull the light away and it settles into something closer to a muted khaki. It is not a bold color, but it is not neutral either. It carries enough color to register clearly on a wall.
Lilianna Undertones
The hex and RGB values place this color firmly in yellow-green territory, with the yellow and green channels running close together and the blue channel pulling well back. That means the dominant pull is warm and slightly earthy. In cooler or blue-tinged light the green side can become more visible. In warm incandescent or late-afternoon light the yellow and khaki character comes forward more strongly.
Where Lilianna Works Best
Because Lilianna sits at a medium LRV, it works on walls where you want color without going dark. It suits spaces that benefit from an earthy, grounded palette: living rooms, dining rooms, studies, and entryways where you want something with character. It is an interior-only color, so stick to indoor applications.
Where to put Lilianna
Lilianna gives a living room an earthy, settled quality. Use warm-toned wood furniture and textiles in rust, terracotta, or camel to let the yellow-green work with the room rather than against it. Trim in a warm off-white keeps the palette cohesive.
At a medium LRV, Lilianna wraps a dining room without going heavy. Candlelight and warm pendant lighting will pull out the yellow warmth in the color and make the room feel grounded and intimate at dinner.
The muted, slightly olive character of Lilianna works well in a study where you want something with personality that still recedes. It pairs naturally with wooden shelving and darker furniture without the room feeling dark.
Lilianna makes a confident first impression without being loud. In an entryway with limited natural light, lean on warm artificial lighting to keep the yellow-green from reading too cool or flat.
What to Pair With Lilianna
No coordinating colors are listed in our database for this color. Because Lilianna is a warm yellow-green with earthy depth, it pairs well with warm whites, soft off-whites with a cream or straw lean, and deep browns or taupes on trim and cabinetry. Avoid stark cool whites on trim, which will make the wall color look muddy by contrast.

Colors that clash with Lilianna
A cool gray trim will pull the undertones of Lilianna in a greenish, slightly off direction, and the two colors will fight each other rather than settle into a cohesive palette.
A very clean, bright white next to Lilianna tends to expose the complexity of the yellow-green and can make the wall color look dingy or unsettled by comparison.
Yellow-green and violet sit near opposite ends of the color wheel. Strong purple upholstery or decor can make Lilianna look jaundiced or sickly rather than earthy.
Common questions
The LRV is 44.47, which puts it squarely in the middle of the value scale. It is not a light color and not a dark one. You will get a clear, visible wall color that still allows a room to feel open if you keep the ceiling and trim lighter.
That depends heavily on your light source. Warm incandescent or afternoon sun will push it toward the yellow and khaki side. Cooler north-facing or overcast light will bring the green forward. Sample it on your actual wall and observe it at different times of day before committing.
