Farrow & Ball

Mere Green

No. 219

Mere Green by Farrow & Ball is a saturated teal-green with pronounced blue undertones that push it toward the cooler end of the green spectrum. At an LRV of 41.1 it absorbs a fair amount of light, so it reads as a definite colour statement rather than a background neutral. It is well suited to bathrooms, boot rooms, or kitchen cabinetry where a strong but contained green is wanted.

Mere Green pairs naturally with Wimborne White and Pointing for trim and ceilings, while Oval Room Blue provides an analogous teal transition. Railings on woodwork sharpens the overall scheme.

Mere Green 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.
