Farrow & Ball

Vert de Terre

No. 234

Vert de Terre by Farrow & Ball is a light, muted green with cool gray undertones that keep it from reading too saturated. Hex #B7BAA4, it has an LRV of 72.1, which means it reflects a good amount of light and can brighten a space without feeling stark. The gray base gives it a slightly mineral, chalky character.

It is well suited to hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms where a quiet, neutral-leaning green is needed. Farrow & Ball colors that work well alongside it include Off-White, French Gray, Pigeon, Mizzle, and Clunch, forming subdued and cohesive combinations.
