What color is Farrow and Ball Sutcliffe Green?

Farrow and Ball Sutcliffe Green 78 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable grey cast and a soft yellow-olive undertone. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly leafy, giving walls a grounded, gently weathered look. In bright daylight, this shade can appear fresher and a little more green, while lower or cooler light brings out its dusty, subdued character. It suits kitchens, boot rooms, studies, and garden-facing spaces, and is particularly effective on cabinetry or woodwork when a full green room feels too heavy. Pair Sutcliffe Green with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and deeper brown accents for a layered, practical interior.

What are Farrow and Ball Sutcliffe Green undertones?

This is a muted, midtone yellow-green with a softened, grayish character rather than a bright or vivid look. Its undertone reads as a gentle yellow bias within the green, which keeps it from appearing sharply blue-green. Farrow & Ball describes Sutcliffe Green as a “connoisseurs green,” a description that fits its subdued green main family and background-like presence. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow warmth, while cool daylight can make the green side appear a little clearer.
