What color is Farrow and Ball Coppice Blue?

Farrow and Ball Coppice Blue G9 is a muted, medium-dark blue with a noticeable greyed teal cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded, so it reads more like a weathered blue-green than a bright coastal blue. In daylight, the cool blue notes are likely to appear clearest, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out its softer green-grey side. Use Coppice Blue on cabinetry, a study wall, or a dining room for depth without the heaviness of navy. Pair it with warm off-whites, pale wood, aged brass, and charcoal accents for a considered, material-led scheme.

What are Farrow and Ball Coppice Blue undertones?

Coppice Blue reads as a mid-depth, muted teal with a balanced blue-green character rather than a bright or highly saturated look. The supplied digital sample leans slightly greener than a straightforward blue, giving it a cool blue-green bias. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “rich deep teal,” which aligns with its visible teal family, though the sample appears more midtone than very dark on screen. Warm artificial light may bring forward some of its green-gray softness, while cool daylight can make its blue-teal side appear clearer.
