Farrow & Ball

Douter

No. 318

Douter is a muted green-gray with a cool, earthy character. The green is subdued enough that it reads close to a dark neutral in lower light, while brighter conditions reveal more of its green base. At an LRV of 42.3, it absorbs more light than it reflects and is best used in spaces with good natural lighting or as an accent.

It works in living rooms or bedrooms where a grounded tone is appropriate. Farrow & Ball Cornforth White or Pavilion Gray complement it as lighter neutrals, while Hague Blue or Railings add contrast. London Stone brings a warm earthy balance.
