Silt Green

In #DCD9C6, this shade reads as a warm, muted green with a generous amount of pale stone in it, which helps it lift light without ever feeling bright. On a wall it looks calm and slightly dusted, giving a room a gentle background rather than a strong colour statement. In north-facing light it can turn cooler and more understated, showing more of its grey-green side, while in south-facing rooms the warmth comes forward and the colour feels creamier and more sunlit. It sits well beside oak, walnut, painted joinery in white or deeper green tones, and upholstered pieces in linen, velvet or patterned cloth with a softened, natural palette. The finish options in Acrylic Eggshell, Elite Emulsion and True Matt suit both walls and woodwork, depending on the look you want.

Use it in sitting rooms, hallways or studies where you want a colour that stays restful beside books, timber and upholstered furniture. It works especially well with natural woodwork, warm neutrals and fabrics in taupe, sage, clay or faded blue.
