Artichoke

2026 Paint PaintSAP1004-44

Artichoke is a calm, olive-leaning green from Sanderson’s 2026 Paint range. It feels settled rather than bright, with enough warmth to sit easily in lived-in rooms.

About this colour

This shade reads as a softened green with a restrained yellow-grey base, so it sits comfortably between sage and olive. In north-facing light it can look quieter and slightly cooler, with the grey note coming forward; in south-facing rooms the yellow warmth is more apparent and the colour feels fuller and more sunlit. It does not bounce light around the room, but it also does not close a space in, which makes it useful where you want colour without heaviness. On walls it works well beside natural oak, aged brass, stone and linen-toned upholstery, and on woodwork it gives a grounded, tailored finish in both Active Emulsion and Waterbased Eggshell.

How to use it

Artichoke suits sitting rooms, studies and pantries where a settled green is wanted. It pairs neatly with tan leather, mid-tone timber, and curtains or chairs in warm neutrals, mossier greens or muted terracotta.

A soft olive green that feels calm and grounded on a wall.

Artichoke 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.
