About this colour

This shade reads as a muted lime with enough yellow in it to feel warm, but a green cast that keeps it from turning creamy or pale gold. On a wall it lifts the room without shouting, sitting in the middle of the light rather than bouncing it hard back. In north-facing light it can look a little softer and greener, with the yellow receding; in south-facing light the warmth comes forward and the colour feels brighter and more sunlit. It sits well beside natural timber, painted joinery in off-white, and upholstery in olive, flax, biscuit or stone tones. In Active Emulsion it suits walls, while Waterbased Eggshell gives the same colour a neat finish on woodwork and cabinetry.

How to use it

Lime Cloud works well in a kitchen, hallway or garden room where you want a fresh, calm backdrop. It pairs neatly with pale oak, walnut, or upholstered seating in muted greens, warm neutrals and small-scale checks.

On a wall, Lime Cloud feels soft, fresh and gently warm rather than acid or bright.

Lime Cloud 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.
