About this colour

This shade reads cool rather than warm, with a blue-green depth that absorbs a fair amount of light and keeps its character in changing conditions. In a north-facing room, Canton can look darker and more muted, with the blue in it becoming more obvious. In south-facing light, the green side opens up and the colour feels cleaner and more vivid without losing depth. On walls it suits pale oak, walnut, brass and aged nickel, and it also works neatly on woodwork where a sharper contrast is wanted.

How to use it

Canton suits sitting rooms, studies and hallways where you want a strong colour that still feels refined. It goes well with patterned curtains in stone, camel or off-white, and with upholstery in moss, oatmeal, charcoal or worn leather.

On a wall, Canton is a deep teal green that feels steady and sophisticated.
