About this colour

This shade reads as a soft beige with a subtle golden undertone, lifted by the red and green balance in #CFBEA2 so it feels warm rather than pink or grey. On a wall it absorbs some light, giving a gentle, settled finish that can make a room feel quieter and more grounded. In a north-facing room it will look a touch cooler and more understated, with the beige leaning slightly greyer. In south-facing light it becomes warmer and more honeyed, especially in Acrylic Eggshell on woodwork or in True Matt on walls, and it sits neatly beside natural oak, walnut, limestone, oatmeal upholstery and muted green or rust tones.

How to use it

Barley suits living rooms, hallways and bedrooms where a warm neutral is needed for walls or painted joinery. It pairs well with timber furniture, linen-toned curtains, and upholstered pieces in olive, tobacco, camel or soft charcoal.

A warm beige like Barley gives walls an easy, settled look without feeling stark.

Barley 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.
