Wall paint - Folly Green No. 76

About Folly Green No. 76

An intense green with a calming effect. Folly Green was originally inspired by neoclassical interior styles and was very popular in the late 18th century. It creates spaces that feel both relaxed and elegant, regardless of whether they are designed in a traditional or modern style.

A shade from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Folly Green is one of Farrow & Ball's Archive colours: no longer in the current colour card, but still available in its original quality. Each tin is mixed to order. Due to the high pigmentation, the shade changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
