About this colour

This shade on a wall feels mellow and grounded, with a gentle lightness that lifts it away from being heavy or muddy. In north-facing rooms it will look more muted and olive, with the greener side staying visible but the warmth dialled back. In south-facing light it becomes sunnier and more golden, so the yellow undertone is clearer and the colour feels softer and brighter. It works well beside natural oak, dark stained timber, brass details and upholstered pieces in stone, tan, chestnut or faded blue tones.

How to use it

Use Oak Apple on walls in a sitting room, study or hallway where you want a calm backdrop with warmth. It also suits woodwork in a room with linen shades, leather seating or muted patterned curtains.

A warm green like this can make a room feel settled and gently bright.
