Green Smoke
Farrow & Ball
No. 47
Green Smoke is a smoky green with a blue undertone, a color the Victorians used widely in the late 19th century and one that has aged remarkably well. It is a favorite for kitchen cabinetry, exterior doors, and paneled rooms, reading as settled and slightly weathered rather than bright. Brass, marble, and warm plaster pinks like Setting Plaster pair with it especially well.

What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Green Smoke?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Green Smoke is Lush AF-475 (#738071). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Green Smoke warm or cool?
Green Smoke is cool, its blue undertone giving the green a hazy, weathered cast. With an LRV of approximately 19, it sits in the dark mid range, deep enough for drama on cabinetry without going black at night. North light emphasizes the blue and the smoke; south light warms it toward a truer green. It is forgiving across exposures, which explains its popularity.
Why does Green Smoke look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #6F7B71 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval. Farrow & Ball does not publish official hex codes, so this value is a close third-party approximation.
What LRV does Green Smoke have?
Green Smoke has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 19, meaning it reflects about 19% of visible light. That low value makes it a dramatic, light-absorbing choice that works well with strong natural light or as an accent.
