What color is Farrow and Ball Green Blue?

Farrow and Ball Green Blue 84 is a light, muted grey-green with a noticeable blue cast and a soft, chalky appearance. Its low saturation keeps it understated rather than overtly colourful, making it well suited to broad wall areas in bedrooms, bathrooms, or calm living spaces. In cool daylight, the blue-grey side is likely to feel clearer, while warmer artificial light can draw out its gentle green undertone. Pair it with off-white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or deeper charcoal accents for definition. Green Blue also has enough restraint for painted cabinetry where a quieter alternative to standard grey is wanted.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 47.36%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
