Park Life

At #969B8A, Park Life is a soft, mid-muted green that leans slightly cool, with enough grey in it to keep the colour steady and understated. In north-facing light it can feel more slate-green and a little quieter, while in south-facing rooms the warmth in the light brings out its olive side and makes it feel fuller without turning vivid. It reflects a moderate amount of light, so it does not flatten a room, but it also does not shout across it. Beside pale oak, walnut, chalky off-whites or deep navy upholstery, it holds its own and gives a room a settled, lived-in balance.

Park Life suits sitting rooms, studies and boot rooms where you want a colour that feels composed on walls or cabinetry. It works well with natural woodwork, cream trim, and upholstery in oatmeal, charcoal, rust or faded blue.
