Oxney Olive

2026 Paint PaintSAP1108-74

Oxney Olive is a grounded olive from Sanderson’s 2026 Paint range, with a mellow, weathered quality that sits comfortably on walls and woodwork. In Active Emulsion or Waterbased Eggshell, it brings a settled, usable warmth rather than a sharp green note.

About this colour

This shade reads as a muted olive-brown with a warm yellow base, so it feels earthy rather than bright or grassy. It absorbs more light than it reflects, which gives walls a cocooning depth without making the colour feel heavy. In north-facing rooms it can turn more subdued and brown-leaning, with the green restrained by cooler light. In south-facing light it opens out, showing more of its olive warmth and a little more clarity beside natural wood, aged brass, cream upholstery and deeper greens.

How to use it

It suits sitting rooms, studies and dining rooms where you want a colour that feels composed and lived-in. It works well beside oak, walnut and painted joinery, and alongside upholstery in flax, russet, charcoal or softened teal.

A warm olive like this gives walls a settled, understated depth.

Oxney Olive 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.
