Archive Collection: Minster Green

No.224

An inviting deep green

More intensely green than Green Smoke, yet deeper and more aged than Calke Green, this inviting mid tone has a lived-in feel that works wonderfully in traditional spaces. Its name is inspired by our home in Dorset, just outside the market town of Wimborne Minster.

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Old White

Archive Collection: Minster Green is rated 3.9 out of 5 by 7.

ECO-FRIENDLY AND CHILD-SAFE

Back in 2010, we moved our entire range to an eco-friendly water base that’s low odour, low VOC and child-safe, becoming the first in the industry to do so. Easy to clean without harmful solvents, in tins that can be recycled again and again, our paints help to reduce the environmental impact of redecorating your home.


QUALITY FINISHES

Every one of our paint colours is available in a range of durable interior and exterior paint finishes, each rigorously tested to ensure an exceptional depth of colour and long-lasting finish. For the very best results, we always recommend using a Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat – see above for the correct tone for this colour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gorgeous Green! I’m renovating a home in Chicago that was built in 1890. The style at the time was unique, almost like a bridge from Late Victorian to the Arts and Crafts movement. What I found interesting is that from the Late Victorian era through around 1950, shades like Minster Green showed up in historic paint palettes. So I think this green could work in so many older homes but at the same time would be beautiful if you’re going for a modern look too. I love that the shade is vibrant but has just a touch of gray that gives it a calming vibe. I don’t have the best pics, but here it is as a quick swatch in my east facing room with a few lamps on. I really love the way this color glows and looks so pretty as a backdrop for my plants.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from F&B's website description is SPOT ON! I love the greens and decided to try Minster Green based on the website description, which rang all my chimes. The color is EXACTLY as described: rich, traditional. It really is a breathtaking shade. I only buy F&B now. Went back back to Benjamin Moore one time recently because I only needed a small amount for a small wall area. OMG, am I spoiled now. There is no comparison whatsoever in terms of sheer beauty of the finish depth of color. Wish F&B sold the wall finishes in quarts!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy to apply, an excellent finish! I bought this to match the rest of the outside gloss work. Thought it was. Dulux colour! But they kindly put me right. The paint was now water based, but it covered well and was a perfect match to the other, older, areas.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Needs care on large surfaces. Roller then brush ou Used for woodwork in entrance hall and provides an excellent depth of colour. Needs two coats over dark undercoat and good brushing out to retain even colour.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Changes colour when wet. Lovely colour, but if you get water standing on this paint, for example on a window cil, the colour goes a lighter shade of green. It does go back to the original colour 24 hours after the standing water has been removed. You can see in the attached photo the lightening effect that water has.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not a good match Unfortunately ‘Mister Green’ looked nothing like the swatch, so we had to add some black in the paint to adjust the colour to match your online colour - total nightmare but we pulled it off in the end !
