Product Description

Farrow & Ball Vert de Terre No.234 is a delicate aged green, fresh and very soft, that recalls the pigment green earth. Farrow & Ball say its blue undertone creates the softest of atmospheres.

Farrow & Ball pair Vert de Terre with Pointing as its complementary white. Their suggested schemes combine it with Light Gray and Mouse's Back, Lichen and Shaded White, or Lime White and Slipper Satin.

Is Vert de Terre warm or cool?

Farrow & Ball describe Vert de Terre as having a blue undertone, and say it is cooler and less intense than Cooking Apple Green, while fresher and less grey than Ball Green.

Where to use Farrow & Ball Vert de Terre No.234

Farrow & Ball say the blue undertone of Vert de Terre creates the softest of atmospheres. For a gentle scheme they suggest it alongside Lichen and Shaded White, or Lime White and Slipper Satin.

Choose Estate Emulsion or Modern Emulsion for walls and ceilings, Dead Flat for a completely flat look across walls and woodwork, and Flat Eggshell, Modern Eggshell or Full Gloss for woodwork and cabinets. For exteriors, choose Exterior Masonry or Exterior Eggshell for breathable, weather-resistant performance. Casein Distemper and Limewash are also available in this colour.
