Acorn

This shade reads as a light green with a clear yellow warmth, softened by a gentle grey note in the hex value #E0E3C4. It lifts light rather than soaking it up, so it can make a room feel open without turning cold. In a north-facing room it will look slightly cooler and more subdued, with the green becoming quieter and the yellow warmth holding it steady. In south-facing light it turns sunnier and more creamy, which brings out its calm, airy character on walls or woodwork. It sits comfortably beside oak, walnut, linen tones, mushroom shades and muted floral patterns, especially where a room needs something fresh but not sharp.

Use Acorn in sitting rooms, bedrooms or hallways where you want a gentle backdrop for patterned upholstery or curtain fabrics. It works well with painted skirtings and joinery in the same family, and with natural wood trim if you want the room to feel softer and more relaxed.
