Farrow & Ball

Cooking Apple Green

No. 32

Cooking Apple Green is a soft muted green with a warm yellow-leaning undertone that gives it a distinctly organic quality. Its LRV of 75.4 means it reflects a good amount of light and reads as airy without appearing washed out. It is well suited to kitchens, sunrooms, or transitional spaces where a natural tone is appropriate.

Pointing and White Tie from Farrow & Ball serve as clean warm whites for trim and ceilings alongside it. For more depth, a darker olive such as Bancha provides grounded contrast, and Vert De Terre offers a closely related but slightly cooler green for adjacent surfaces.

Cooking Apple Green in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
