This muted green is a tribute to Richard Ball, the paint pioneer who first founded our company in Dorset, England with John Farrow. It is an old distemper colour with a more sober, established feel than fresh Cooking Apple Green. It has a magical quality of appearing almost silver in candlelight, so is great for use in dining rooms.
We’re dedicated to perfecting the art of paint. At our home in Dorset, we combine the finest ingredients, 75 years of experience and technical precision to help you create beautiful spaces that stay beautiful. Even in our colour rich paints, less than 8% of the tin is the colour. The other 92% is what creates the quality, depth and extraordinary response to light that transforms your home.
Paint is like coffee. The colour is the froth on the top, but it’s the quality of the rest of the cup that makes it taste good. – Richard Ball, Farrow & Ball Co-founder
We use twelve exclusive pigments, all specifically selected for their colour intensity. We take colour seriously, so naturally, we only accept the very best. By using these same pigments to make every colour in our palette, all our shades combine effortlessly, making it easy for you to put together a cohesive colour scheme.
Deeper, richer colours
Deeper, richer colours
Packed with pigment for an extraordinary response to every kind of light.
We add generous helpings of rich pigment to create our signature look – deep colours with complex undertones. The same space that feels bright and airy in morning sun, can feel cosy and intimate by evening. Our teams design each shade under every kind of light, so it will be perfectly balanced in every setting.
Extraordinary response to light
Extraordinary response to light
We spend months carefully crafting and testing each of our paint colours to make sure they share our signature extraordinary response to light. This beautiful reaction to changing light, like bringing out different undertones or shifting intensity, is what makes our paint so special.

The most stunning green for a dining room.I had been looking for a soft green paint for my dining room that would compliment the original fireplace and furniture that has sat in this room since 1881. Ball Green has turned out to be perfect; I paired it with Old White for the ceiling and the wall above the picture rail and used Lime white for the coving, ceiling rose and woodwork. The result is a calming, rich colour scheme.

Paired with Green Smoke and Setting PlasterI've used Ball Green previously, on the walls of our family room, but this finish was for some woodwork in an office, specifically a deep sill window and some wooden interior shutters. It looks stunning alongside Green Smoke on the walls, really picks up the details of the shutters and creates an area of contrasted light framing the window. Setting Plaster on the ceiling warmed things further. As ever, a beautiful finish and depth of colour.
