What color is Farrow and Ball Douter?
Farrow and Ball Douter 318 is a muted, mid-to-deep gray-green with a gently weathered cast. Its green undertone is present but restrained, giving the color a grounded appearance rather than a leafy or bright one. In daylight it can read as a softened green-grey, while lower or warmer light tends to bring out its darker, more charcoal-leaning side. Use Douter on cabinetry, a study wall, or exterior joinery where its depth can define the surface without looking black. It pairs particularly well with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, limestone, and darker painted woodwork.

What are Farrow and Ball Douter undertones?
Douter is a midtone, very muted green-grey with a low-saturation, slightly weathered appearance. The supplied digital color shows a subtle green direction with a faint yellow-leaning bias, though that undertone is understated and can shift with surrounding colors and light. Farrow & Ball describes it as “a green interpretation” of Inchyra Blue, which fits its visibly green main family while suggesting a cooler, blue-grey connection rather than a bright green. Warm artificial light may bring out its softer olive-grey side, while cool daylight can make the green-grey character appear a little cleaner and cooler.
