About this colour

This shade reads as a warm, muted green with clear olive and khaki notes, so it feels more earthy than fresh. The #978C6E value gives it a mid-depth presence that absorbs a fair amount of light, making it feel settled and calm rather than reflective. In north-facing rooms it can turn cooler and a little more subdued, with the green receding into a soft greyed olive. In south-facing light it warms up and shows more of its earthy yellow-green side, especially beside pale oak, dark walnut, linen neutrals and patterned upholstery in natural tones.

How to use it

It suits sitting rooms, studies and dining rooms where you want a colour that supports timber and antique finishes. Pair it with stained woodwork, muted leather, flax-toned curtains or upholstery in russet, ochre and soft cream.

A muted olive green that sits easily on walls and brings warmth to timber.
