A study in green

Green Smoke and Pigeon have been bringing their distinctive character to homes for decades. Different expressions of green, they show how nuanced colour can completely change the feeling of a space.

These two shades are part of The Original Edit, where we take a closer look at some of the defining shades from our first colour card.

The richness of Green Smoke

Deep and smoky with a hint of blue, Green Smoke brings richness and atmosphere to a room. Pair it with warm neutrals for a softer balance, or embrace its depth for a more immersive feel. Like many of our greens, its naturally calming quality can make a room feel grounded and inviting.

The quiet character of Pigeon

Soft and nuanced, Pigeon sits between blue, green and grey, bringing a gentler feel to a room. Its muted tones work beautifully alongside delicate neutrals, creating calm, considered schemes that lend themselves beautifully to bedrooms. It’s an understated way to bring green into a scheme, with plenty of character of its own.
