Wall paint - Folly Green No. 76

Folly Green No. 76 – Colour Description

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

A shade from the Farrow & Ball Archive

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