Farrow & Ball

Duck Green

No. W55

Duck Green by Farrow & Ball is a deep green with noticeable cool undertones and a subdued blue-grey cast. It has an LRV of 30.3, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a dark, saturated tone on walls. This makes it well suited to studies, dining rooms, or accent walls where a grounded atmosphere is needed.

It pairs naturally with Shaded White or Jitney for a lighter contrast, while Card Room Green and Lichen offer tonal continuity within the green range. For a bolder scheme, Hague Blue provides a strong complementary anchor.
