Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Duck Green leans neutral where Viridian Odyssey reads cool. Duck Green is a green, Viridian Odyssey a blue.

How they read

In their own words

Duck Green No. W55 is a deep, strong but subdued green named after the plumage of a mallard. It is a Farrow & Ball Archive colour, made to order.

Viridian Odyssey is a deep teal that reads almost black until light touches it, and then it reveals an inky blue-green with real depth. At LRV 7 it is one of the darkest colors in the library — a genuine envelope color for panelling, cabinetry and rooms meant to feel like the inside of a jewel box.
