What color is Farrow and Ball Danish Lawn?

Farrow and Ball Danish Lawn 9817 is a mid-depth green with a clear, leafy cast and enough richness to hold its own on large surfaces. Its #3e7f4b color value reads as a grounded green rather than a pale botanical tint, with a slightly cool appearance in bright daylight. In lower or warmer light, Danish Lawn can look deeper and more shaded, making it especially effective in dining rooms, studies, or hallways. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, woven cane, and aged brass to bring out its organic character. It also makes a confident choice for painted cabinetry or a front door when set against light stone or cream trim.

What are Farrow and Ball Danish Lawn undertones?

Danish Lawn reads as a midtone green with moderate saturation, giving it a clear color presence without looking extremely bright. The supplied digital sample has a slight yellow bias within its green family, which can make it lean a little grassy or olive rather than blue-green. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “vivid fresh green,” which aligns with its clearly green overall character, though the sample appears somewhat softened at this depth. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-leaning side, while cool daylight can make the green look cleaner and a touch cooler.
