How they read
In their own wordsBreakfast Room Green No. 81 is, in Farrow & Ball's words, "the most cheerful of all our greens, remaining lively in both bright sunlight or softer candlelight". The brand adds that it is particularly beautiful in the dawn light.
Calke Green takes its name from the breakfast room at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, and it has the settled, slightly faded quality of a color that has been on a wall for two hundred years. It is a mid-tone green with enough grey to stay calm and enough yellow to stay warm — the green of gardens rather than forests.
