Farrow & Ball

Teresa's Green

No. 236

Teresa's Green is a pale blue-green from Farrow & Ball with a cool base and a subtle green undertone that prevents it from reading as a straight blue. Its saturation is low, so it behaves more like a tinted neutral than a strong color statement. At an LRV of 78.5, it reflects a good deal of light and suits rooms where a quiet background tone is needed, including bathrooms, bedrooms, and connecting hallways.

Pointing and White Tie work as trim colors alongside it, while Cromarty, Mizzle, and Blue Gray offer tonal depth without a jarring shift.
