About this colour

This shade reads as a muted, slightly warm green with a grey-beige cast, so it feels settled rather than fresh or bright. On a wall it lifts a room gently, holding more light than a deep olive but absorbing enough to keep the space calm. In north-facing light it can lean more subdued and earthy, with the green softened by shadow. In south-facing rooms it shows its warmer side, reading as a mellow green that sits well beside oak, walnut, cream paint, and patterned upholstery in natural tones.

How to use it

It suits sitting rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a calm green is wanted on the walls or ceiling. Pair it with painted joinery in off-white, stained woodwork, and upholstery in linen, velvet, or woven neutrals.

A gentle, muted green that gives walls a calm, settled look.

Thames Reeds 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.
