Standen Clay

Standen Clay is a grounded Morris & Co. green with a clear clay undertone, giving it an earthy, settled look on the wall. In Signature Emulsion Paint, it suits interior walls and ceilings where a softer, more historical colour is needed.

About this colour

This shade sits between green and brown, so it reads as a muted olive-clay rather than a fresh plant green. Its mid depth helps it hold its colour without feeling heavy, and it takes the edge off strong light instead of bouncing it back. In a north-facing room it can turn a little cooler and more sombre, bringing out the grey-green side of the colour. In south-facing light it warms up, showing more of its earthy brown-green character and sitting well beside natural timber, aged brass, deep leather, and patterned upholstery with warm ground colours.

How to use it

Standen Clay works well in sitting rooms, libraries, and dining rooms where you want the walls to feel calm and enclosing. It pairs neatly with painted joinery in warm off-whites, dark woodwork, and upholstery in rust, ochre, stone, or mossy greens.

A muted green with a warm clay cast that settles quietly on the wall.

Standen Clay is a wall colour, so these are the cloths that sit against it: one of them on the curtains, the paint behind. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.
