Farrow & Ball

Verdigris Green

No. W50

Verdigris Green by Farrow & Ball is a mid-toned green with noticeable blue undertones that give it a cool, aquatic quality. Its hex value is #3C8266 and it has an LRV of 44.4, placing it in the medium range - enough presence to anchor a wall without making a room feel closed in. It reads well in kitchens, bathrooms, and garden-facing rooms where its blue-green character feels grounded.

It coordinates naturally with Farrow & Ball shades like French Gray, Green Blue, Card Room Green, Wimborne White, and Pigeon, all of which share a cool, restrained quality.
