The difference

Read from the numbers

Calke Green leans neutral where Green Smoke reads cool. Both belong to the green family.

How they read

In their own words

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.

Green Smoke No. 47 is a Farrow & Ball colour the brand describes as "a smoky green blue" that was popular in interiors during the late 19th century.
