Farrow & Ball

Green Blue

No. 84

Green Blue by Farrow & Ball is a muted, cool-toned color that blends green and blue in roughly equal measure, though it tends to lean more blue under cooler lighting conditions. Its LRV of 72.7 places it in the light range, so it can brighten a room without appearing washed out. The color shifts between greener and bluer depending on the time of day and light source, which makes it worth sampling in place before committing.

It works well in bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchens, and coordinates naturally with Skylight, Light Blue, Slipper Satin, Off-White, and Teresa Green.
