Glorious Greens

From soft, silvery sages to lush forest tones, green is consistently one of our best-loved colours. Find out more and pick your perfect shade right here.

Why Choose Green?


There’s something wonderfully reassuring about green. Its close connection to nature can make a room feel instantly more restful, whether you choose uplifting fresh tones or add some drama with deeper hues.

Its versatility makes green a beautiful colour to weave throughout the home, creating a different atmosphere from room to room while retaining a natural sense of flow.

Pick Your Perfect Green


Start by thinking about the atmosphere you want to create. Lighter green paint colours like Calke Green or Arsenic bring a fresh feel; French Gray and Lichen are serene and understated. Dark greens like Green Smoke or Treron add boldness and intrigue, ideal for spaces where you love to linger such as living and dining rooms. 


What Colours Go With Green?

Green works beautifully with all kinds of other colours. You can take your cue from nature: think stony neutrals, warm earth tones, delicate florals and deep woody shades. Or you can turn to the colour wheel for combinations that feel either harmonious or full of contrast. 

Here are four ways to shape your scheme.

COMBINE WITH NEUTRALS

TRY GRADIENT LAYERING

USE HARMONIOUS COLOURS

Combine green paint colours with blues or yellows – green’s neighbours on the colour wheel. It will give you a balanced scheme that can feel serene or bold, depending on the shades you pick.

MAKE A STATEMENT WITH CONTRAST

For more warmth and energy, look across the colour wheel to pinks and reds. These complementary colours bring out the best in green for a striking finish.

Find The Right Green For Your Light

Before you make your final decision, remember that the same green can take on a very different character as the light changes throughout the day.

Bright, south-facing light adds warmth to cool and vibrant greens, while north-facing rooms can work beautifully with richer shades that embrace their naturally atmospheric character.

Always try your chosen colour in the room itself, looking at it at different times of day alongside your furniture, flooring and other finishes. A sample can reveal nuances unique to you and your home.

ADD LIFE TO YOUR LIVING ROOM

Green feels naturally at home in living rooms, bringing comfort and character to spaces made for relaxing and entertaining.

Try muted green walls with related neutrals for an easy-going scheme, or use a deeper shade across multiple surfaces for a richer, more enveloping effect.

CREATE A RESTFUL BEDROOM

For a calm bedroom, look to soft grey-greens and sage green colour schemes.

Or create a cosier feel with a richer green carried beyond the walls onto woodwork, doors or even the ceiling.

FRESHEN UP YOUR KITCHEN

Green pairs beautifully with natural kitchen materials such as timber, stone and marble.

Try green cabinetry against a quiet neutral, make an island the focal point with a stronger shade, or carry one colour across walls and woodwork. From lighter hues to deep forest tones, green can make a kitchen feel welcoming and full of personality.

Delve into a World of Blue

Blue is one of our most enduringly popular colours, thanks to its effortless versatility. From barely-there tints to intense, inky hues, discover a spectrum of possibilities for your home.

Why Choose Blue?


Blue is something of a decorating chameleon. Depending on the shade and its surroundings, it can sit quietly into the background or become the defining feature of a room.

This versatility is part of its appeal. And because it can feel equally at home in classic and contemporary interiors, it’s a colour you can return to again and again.

Find Your Kind of Blue


Before choosing a blue, think about the mood you want to set. Paler shades like Sizing can make a room feel airy and calm, while deep hues like Hague Blue create wonderfully sophisticated, dramatic spaces. For an understated scheme, explore muted blue-greys such as De Nimes or Inchyra Blue – two of our most popular colours. 

What Colours Go With Blue?

One of the joys of decorating with blue is the sheer number of directions you can take it. Choose a crisp blue and neutral colour scheme, layer several blues together, or introduce neighbouring and contrasting shades to change the mood completely. 

Here are four ways to build your scheme.

PAIR WITH WHITE

Blue and white is a classic choice, bringing an uplifting, coastal feel to a room. Every Farrow & Ball blue has a complementary white: find it online or on our colour cards.

USE HARMONIOUS COLOURS

Look to either side of blue on the colour wheel for shades that sit naturally together. Greens and violets share some of blue’s undertones, creating a gentle transition from one colour to the next.

MAKE A STATEMENT WITH CONTRAST

For a vibrant scheme, look across the colour wheel to oranges, terracottas or mustards. These contrasting shades can make blue appear even more vivid and expressive.

Find The Right Blue For Your Light

Before making your final choice, spend a day with your shortlisted blues. Morning, midday and evening light can each reveal something different.

A sunny south-facing room will lend warmth to blue, while more muted north-facing light can emphasise its cooler notes. That doesn’t mean blue is off limits in north-facing rooms: a deeper velvety shade can create an intimate and elegant space.

Try samples on different walls and revisit them as the day progresses. You may be surprised by which one looks best.

TRANSFORM YOUR LIVING ROOM

Blue can be a wonderful backdrop for living rooms, whether you want it to feel bright and breezy or rich and inviting.

Try a softer blue with complementary neutrals for a subtle scheme, or use darker shades to create a space that comes into its own after the sun goes down.

CREATE A TRANQUIL BEDROOM

Blue’s restful qualities make it a natural choice for bedrooms.

For an especially serene look, layer closely related blues or carry your chosen shade onto woodwork for fewer visual contrasts.

ADD COLOUR TO YOUR KITCHEN

From traditional cabinetry to contemporary walls, blue brings plenty of personality to kitchens.

Muted blue-greys work beautifully with timber and stone, while stronger blues can give cabinetry or an island real presence. Pair with a sympathetic neutral for balance, or continue blue across the room for a more immersive effect.
