Farrow & Ball

Danish Lawn

No. 9817

Danish Lawn is a medium-depth green from Farrow & Ball with cool undertones that lean slightly towards blue. At an LRV of 42.9 it absorbs more light than it reflects, which gives it a grounded, saturated appearance that holds well under both natural and artificial lighting. It is best suited to rooms with adequate light, such as kitchens or garden-facing living spaces, where the green reads clearly without turning too dark.

Pairing it with Cromarty or Lichen keeps the palette cool and related, while Shaded White or Stony Ground offers neutral contrast. Railings can provide a strong dark edge.
