Farrow & Ball

Churlish Green

No. 251

Churlish Green is a muted yellow-green with warm, ochre-leaning undertones that distinguish it from cooler greens. With an LRV of 74, it reflects a good deal of light, making it suitable for smaller rooms or north-facing spaces where maintaining brightness matters. On the wall it reads as a soft, khaki-tinted green rather than a strong or saturated hue.

Farrow & Ball's Pointing and White Tie pair naturally as trim colours, keeping the scheme warm and tonal. For contrast, Hague Blue or Railings can anchor the palette with a darker element, creating clear definition between surfaces.
