Wall paint - Green Smoke No. 47

About Green Smoke No. 47

Green Smoke is one of Farrow & Ball’s most versatile greens, looking just as good on kitchen cabinetry and woodwork as it does on walls. This dark, smoky color with its rich blue pigment is inspired by interiors from the late 19th century.

Color Impact & Light

Green Smoke brings the outdoors in, appearing fresh or deep and cocooning depending on the light. In smaller rooms or areas with little natural light, it intentionally creates an enveloping, intimate atmosphere. When combined with light textiles and warm lighting, it delivers a true wow effect.

Combine Like the Pros

The official complementary white for Green Smoke is Shaded White, ideal for ceilings, trims, and adjacent surfaces. Color schemes recommended by Farrow & Ball: School House White & Shaded White · Light Gray & Old White · Jitney & Dead Salmon · Sulking Room Pink & Pelt.

Coverage & Application

1 liter covers approx. 12 m² per coat; two coats are recommended. All Farrow & Ball paints are water-based, low-odor, and low-emission (A+ indoor air quality). Tip: Use the sample pot (100 ml) to paint generous test areas on at least two walls, as every Farrow & Ball shade changes with the light.
