What color is Farrow and Ball Chine Green?

Farrow and Ball Chine Green 35 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable charcoal-grey cast, reading more restrained than leafy or bright. Its low saturation gives it a grounded, architectural look, while the slight blue-green edge keeps it from feeling brown. In daylight, it can show as a softened dark green; under lower or warmer artificial light, the grey depth becomes more apparent. Use it on cabinetry, library walls, interior doors, or exterior trim where a dark color is wanted without a near-black effect. Pair Chine Green with warm off-whites, aged brass, pale oak, stone, and naturally textured linen for contrast.

What are Farrow and Ball Chine Green undertones?

Chine Green reads as a deep, very muted green with a subtle teal direction, giving it a dark, softened blue-green character rather than a bright leafy green. The supplied digital color shows only a slight green bias, so any undertone is understated and may shift in perception with surrounding colors and finish. Farrow & Ball’s official description names the color after coastal gorges on England’s south coast, but it does not make a specific undertone claim. Warm artificial light may bring out its softer, slightly greener side, while cool daylight can make its restrained teal cast easier to notice.
