Farrow & Ball

Emerald Green

No. W53

Emerald Green by Farrow & Ball is a mid-tone green with cool undertones and a hex value of #73A371. Its LRV of 58.5 puts it in the moderate range -- it will not darken a room heavily but it is far from a light neutral, so it reads clearly as green on the wall. It can work on kitchen cabinetry, in garden-facing rooms, or as an accent in a bathroom.

Breakfast Room Green and Pale Powder pair with it for a softer, related palette, while Wimborne White keeps trim clean and Stiffkey Blue offers a strong tonal contrast.
