10 Stunning Dark Green Paint Colours to Try
Studio Green No.93 by Farrow and Ball
Paint Colour: Farrow and Ball – Studio Green
I love this super dark green by Farrow and Ball. Studio Green is their darkest green, so dark it could be mistaken as being black when the lights are low. With their incredible light responding technologically, the rich dark pigments respond like magic to all different types of light – artificial and natural. This makes it appear much greener when painted onto exterior surfaces, than it appears on their colour card.
I love the way this dark green shade has been used on the kitchen cupboard doors in the image above. It looks fabulous and adds bags of character and sophistication to the room. Studio Green by Farrow and Ball would look stunning in any room of your home.
Designer Advice: Order a sample pot to try at home. Once you’ve applied it, check to see how you like the colour at different times of the day.
