Farrow & Ball

Arsenic

No. 214

Arsenic is a mint green with cool, slightly blue undertones that place it between green and aqua. With an LRV of 65.9, it reads mid-light and can intensify on large surfaces, especially in bright daylight. It is typically used on cabinetry, a single wall, or smaller rooms where clean color separation is wanted.

For crisp boundaries, All White and Wimborne White work well on trim. For nearby greens, Calke Green and Teresa’s Green keep the palette in the same family while shifting darker or grayer.
