A connoisseurs' green
Connoisseurs often cite green as being the ultimate background colour for hanging pictures, and we think Sutcliffe Green is among the best. It is named after the great colourist John Sutcliffe, who was so instrumental in making Farrow & Ball what it is today.
This colour is from our Archive. All Archive colours are made to order just for you, so they're non-returnable. To help you pick the perfect shade for your project, you can sample our Archive with paint swatches, exclusively available online.
For selected Archive shades, we use computer generated images (labelled with 'CGI'). This is to give you an idea of how a colour looks in a space. We'd love to share images of real homes, so do let us know if you have one!
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones
Complementary white: Lime White
Key features
Audited and ethical supply chain
Making the very best paint and paper possible starts well before the factory. That’s why we’re meticulous about who we work with. From sourcing raw materials to delivery, all of our suppliers have to follow our strict Code of Conduct.
Being a manufacturer puts us in a privileged position: we know exactly what goes into our products and exactly where it comes from, all the way back to raw materials. Not all paint brands make paint from scratch, they buy a base paint and add a colour tint. These brands are one step further away from the process and have to try and investigate how their suppliers’ suppliers behave.
Water based with A+ Indoor air quality rating
We’re proud to have been the first in the industry to transition to a completely water based range back in 2010.
