What the experts are saying

“Re-invented earthy paint colours are set to take centre stage, due to their ability to rekindle our connection with nature and grounding properties. Envision colours of earth, clay and foliage from our dense forestland. Lucienne Olive, our subdued peat green, makes for a flawless and versatile foundation to create an intimate and welcoming home. Teamed with a burst of colour like Jarosite yellow, it imitates the dappled light filtering through the trees, infusing an instant touch of character and rejuvenation.”

- Flora Hogg, Interior Designer & Colour Consultant

Straddling the line between luscious green and grounded neutral, Lucienne Olive impressed the judges with its rich complexity. Instantly bringing a sense of order and calm to a space, this multifaceted hue comes in three finishes – Chalky Emulsion, Eggshell and Gloss.

“I’m a sucker for a green wall, which is just as well seeing as green is everywhere in interiors at the moment. This shade manages to straddle that lust for green with a grounded neutral base so it’s the perfect shade for those who might not normally go for a great deal of colour on their walls.”

- Ginevra Benedetti, Deputy Editor of Ideal Home

“Green is enjoying a moment right now – its link to nature brings a grounding and soothing feel. This rich, forest-inspired olive shade will act as an earthy neutral, which makes it an easy way to add colour to your home, whatever your style. Whether paired with chalky whites or vibrant accents, Lucienne Olive delivers.”
