Farrow & Ball

Sutcliffe Green

No. 78

Sutcliffe Green is a muted, earthy green with gray undertones that prevent it from appearing too vivid on large surfaces. With an LRV of 56.8, it provides moderate reflectance and holds up well in rooms with average natural light. It is a practical choice for living rooms, bedrooms, or studies where a grounded green is wanted without the room feeling heavy.

Pointing works as a soft white companion on trim, while Light Gray and Cromarty can extend a tonal green scheme across connected spaces. Railings gives a firm dark contrast on doors or architectural details.
