English Pear

2026 Paint PaintSAP1050-74

English Pear is Sanderson's soft, mellow green from the 2026 Paint range. It has the look of a pale pear skin tone, with enough warmth to feel settled and enough freshness to stay light on the wall.

About this colour

This shade reads as a muted yellow-green with a gentle grey cast, so it sits in the room as a calm, easy colour rather than a bright one. The hex value #C8CFA5 keeps it lifted, but not airy, and it will still hold a clear presence on woodwork in Waterbased Eggshell. In north-facing light it turns cooler and a little more subdued, with the green note coming forward. In south-facing rooms it warms noticeably and can pick up a soft, sunny undertone, which makes it feel more welcoming beside pale timber, natural linen, oatmeal upholstery and deeper olive or brown accents.

How to use it

Use English Pear on walls in a sitting room, hallway or kitchen where you want colour that feels quiet rather than sharp. It works well with painted joinery in off-white, with oak or walnut, and beside curtains or upholstery in stone, moss, tobacco or faded floral grounds.

A soft green wall colour with a warm, settled feel and enough clarity to keep a room open.

English Pear 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.
