Farrow & Ball

Green Smoke

No. 47

Green Smoke by Farrow & Ball is a desaturated green with noticeable blue-gray undertones that give it a cooler, muted character. Its LRV of 47 places it in the mid-range, meaning it has enough depth to anchor a wall without making a room feel dark. The cool undertone becomes more apparent in north-facing rooms and under overcast light.

It suits dining rooms, studies, and feature walls where some visual weight is useful. Green Smoke works well alongside Ammonite, Cornforth White, French Gray, De Nimes, and Strong White.

Green Smoke 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
