About this colour

This shade reads as a soft, restrained green with a clear grey undertone, so it lifts a room gently without feeling fresh or sharp. On walls, #A8AF96 has enough colour to be distinct, but it still behaves like a quiet neutral beside oak, walnut and painted joinery. In north-facing light it will look cooler and a little more sage-grey, while in south-facing rooms the green note comes forward and the colour feels warmer and more mineral. It pairs well with off-white trim, deeper olive accents and upholstery in natural flax, taupe or old brown leathers.

How to use it

Boringdon Green suits sitting rooms, studies and bedrooms where a calm wall colour is needed without losing character. It is especially effective with simple painted woodwork, aged timber and upholstery in muted natural tones.

A settled grey-green like this gives walls colour without overpowering the room.
