Wall Paint - Chine Green No. 35

Chine Green No. 35 – Colour Description

This earthy green takes its name from the steep-sided coastal ravines found throughout the south of England. Used on kitchen cabinetry, it feels as familiar as a kitchen in an old country house.

A shade from the Farrow & Ball Archive

Chine Green is one of our Archive colours: no longer in our current palette, but still available to order in original quality. Each tin is mixed to order. Its high level of pigmentation means the tone shifts with the light throughout the day – softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
