Farrow & Ball

Pond Green

No. G7

Pond Green is a muted, cool-leaning green from Farrow & Ball with noticeable blue-gray undertones that soften its appearance. Its hex code is #9FB0A5 and its LRV of 67.3 puts it in the upper-mid range for reflectivity, so it keeps a room feeling open while still registering as a definite color on the wall. It works well in bathrooms, garden-facing rooms, and bedrooms where a quiet green is appropriate.

Pond Green sits comfortably alongside Cromarty, Light Blue, Borrowed Light, Teresa's Green, and Skylight in a cool-toned palette.
