Farrow & Ball

Chappell Green

No. 83

Chappell Green is a cool-toned green with blue-gray undertones that give it a slightly muted, sage-like quality. Its LRV of 62.2 places it in the upper-mid range, meaning it reflects enough light to work on all four walls without closing in a room, while still reading clearly as a color rather than a neutral. It is well suited to bedrooms, kitchens, and living rooms with moderate to good natural light.

On ceilings and trim, Farrow & Ball Strong White or Ammonite provide a soft transition. Pavilion Blue and Borrowed Light complement its cool lean, and darker anchors like Hague Blue or Down Pipe add definition on doors or lower panelling.
