Choose your undertone
Sage is a soft, satisfying shade of green, perfect for creating a relaxing, earth-toned atmosphere. Depending on your intentions, sage can either add a sleek, delicate feel with cooler tones, or a warm, grounding look that’s cosy and wholesome.
Cool sage
Laurel Green is a pale, grey-toned sage that creates an effortlessly refreshing vibe. South and west facing rooms are perfect for cooler tones as they reflect natural light for an airy, open space. Pair with delicate furnishings, such as pressed flowers and warm wood, for a classic farmhouse feel, or introduce crisp white accents for a more contemporary look.

Warm sage
Silver Sage has a subtle yellow undertone with hints of brown, for a warmer take on the shade. This natural, sun kissed green is more reminiscent of dried sage leaves, and pairs well with rustic furniture such as Windsor chairs, distressed picture frames or wicker baskets.

Olive green
Defined by its distinctive yellow undertones, olive green is ideal for adding an earthy elegance to a space. Olive can range from a dark, refined moss colour like Jasper, to a lush, vibrant shade like Pickled Olive for a more playful look.
Olive pairs beautifully with terracotta tiles and warm accents, for a Mediterranean kitchen, or as a backdrop for gallery walls, dark wood and antiques, for an old-world style study or lounge.

Earthy green
A rich, earth-toned green is the perfect way to create an inviting space, evoking the tranquil beauty of verdant leaves and rolling hills. All Green is a lush, warm-toned shade that complements rust orange and redwood, replicating the vibrant autumnal palettes found in nature.
For a more muted shade, try Serenity, a dusky green with grounding grey undertones. The green-grey captures the calm of nature but is better suited for a sleek aesthetic, that pairs sharp lines and dark accents.
Dark green
Nothing says luxury like a dark, moody palette, and an intense green-black like After Dinner is the perfect way to incorporate a sense of drama. The statement shade will look elegant and refined on decorative moulding, or transform kitchen walls and cabinets with a regal look, that pairs perfectly with polished gold handles and flourishes.
For a more playful palette, pair After Dinner with subtle orange accents to add a touch of warmth to this seriously sophisticated shade.
