Farrow & Ball

Green Ground

No. 206

Green Ground by Farrow & Ball is a warm, yellow-leaning green with a chalky, muted quality. At an LRV of 83.4, it reflects a good deal of light, making it useful for north-facing rooms or smaller spaces where maintaining brightness matters. The green-beige balance reads as a soft neutral in most settings, without pulling strongly in either direction.

It is a practical option for walls in living rooms, kitchens, and conservatories. It pairs well with Slipper Satin, White Tie, Lichen, Old White, and Tallow, all of which sit comfortably in the same warm tonal range.

Green Ground in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
