The difference
Read from the numbersCedar Grove is the lighter of the two at LRV 46.34, 27.3 points above Green Smoke at LRV 19. Both read cool. Both belong to the green family. For a whole room, Cedar Grove is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Green Smoke is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsGreen 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.
Cedar Grove is a mid-light sage — green enough to be clearly a color from across the room, grey enough never to look minty. At LRV 46 it sits in the sweet spot for a full-room green: it holds its tone in daylight and softens rather than muddies as the light fades.
