Farrow & Ball Emerald Green No.W53

Emerald Green No.W53 is a dark green from the Farrow & Ball Archive Collection, with cool green undertones. It sits in the dark band of the Farrow & Ball palette. It absorbs most of the light that falls on it, so it rewards rooms you want to feel enclosed and intimate — snugs, dining rooms, studies and panelled woodwork.

Using Emerald Green in a scheme

James White No.2010 is the white to run with it — it shares the same undertone, so ceilings, cornices and skirtings stay in the same key. For a scheme built on one colour, step up to Whirlybird No.309 on walls and down to Beverly No.310 on joinery.

Sampling this colour

Emerald Green sits outside Farrow & Ball's 132-colour signature palette, so it is not produced as a 100ml sample pot. Call in and we can show you the colour on a hand-painted card before you order.

Available finishes

• Dead Flat — ultra-matt walls, woodwork and metal (2% sheen)
• Estate Emulsion — interior walls and ceilings in low-traffic rooms (2% sheen)
• Modern Emulsion — washable, scuff-proof walls and ceilings in kitchens and bathrooms (7% sheen)
• Flat Eggshell — interior wood, metal, concrete and floors (20% sheen)
• Modern Eggshell — hard-wearing wood and metal, including floors and staircases (40% sheen)

Priming and light

Emerald Green sits right on the line between Dark Tones and Mid Tones Primer & Undercoat — ask us and we will confirm which one your surface calls for. In a north-facing room this goes very deep on an overcast day. That richness is the reason to choose it — test a patch beside your window first.
