Farrow & Ball

Folly Green

No. 76

Folly Green by Farrow & Ball is a muted, mid-tone green with noticeable yellow undertones that give it a slightly earthy lean. Its hex value is #90A987 and it has an LRV of 63.2, placing it in the medium-light range -- bright enough to keep a room from feeling dark but with enough depth to register clearly on walls. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, and living spaces where a natural, grounded tone is useful.

Farrow & Ball shades like Shaded White, Joa's White, Pale Powder, Railings, and Pelt all pair well with it, whether used on trim, ceilings, or adjacent walls.
