Little Greene Launch 27 New Paint Colours

October 20th, 2026

There’s always a little thrill when new colour cards land in our inbox, and this one is a proper refresh. Little Greene has updated both of its main colour cards, Colours of England and Colour Scales, with 27 new Little Greene paint colours in the line-up. One of those, Putti, is a returning favourite. I’ve been through the lot, and here’s what I think of the new shades and how I’d use them.

Little Greene Colours of England: Five New Shades

The Little Greene Colours of England card still has 128 shades, a collection of timeless Little Greene paint colours that includes authentic shades from the key periods of the last 300 years of decorative history. Five of them are new.

Haye White 346 is my pick for an “everywhere white”. It has a lovely, suffused brightness and is a softer, warmer alternative to Slaked Lime 105 and the cooler Wood Ash 229.

Parlour 347 is a warm, pinkish off-white with a great story. Grand houses like the Baroque Dyrham Park near Bath were built with formal rooms for receiving guests, and the word “parlour” comes from the French parler, to speak. This shade was once used in a north-facing reception room known as the “Slop’t Parlour”, named for its view onto a sloping bank where a fountain would cool the air (and the guests) on hot days.

Perpetual Blue 348 has an interesting story behind it. The colour’s taken from a surviving paint palette of Sir Winston Churchill in his studio at Chartwell in Kent. Yes, really! You can paint your walls with a colour from Churchill’s own palette.

Floss 349 is a pink with confidence. It has the same undertone as Carmine 189 but about half the intensity, which makes it far easier to live with. Go big and use it on the walls for a bold pink scheme, or dot it around as an accent within a more subdued palette.

Ashes of Marigold 350 is a blackened, more usable version of the much-loved Marigold 209. It keeps the warmth and drops the fireworks. It’s a perfect example of the trend towards less heat.

What Are Little Greene Colour Scales?

If picking paint colours that work together leaves you feeling overwhelmed, Little Greene’s Colour Scales is for you. It’s a range of 18 ‘families’ rather than individual colours. Each ‘root’ colour comes with lighter and darker variations, so coordinating a colour scheme is much simpler.

The card has also had a makeover with the customer in mind. Stone and Grey are no longer separate collections. In their place are Neutral Scales and Colourful Scales.

Neutral scales start with warmer, pink undertones on the left, and move through yellow and green to cooler, blueish neutrals on the right.

Colourful scales are higher chroma Little Greene paint colours grouped into families. Choose shades from the same column for a seamless, harmonious scheme or move horizontally for a colour with similar weight but a different hue.

An Overview Of The 22 New Paint Colours From Colour Scales

Warm Neutrals

Hammock Family (Pale 351, Mid 352, Hammock 38, Hammock Dark 353) is an unbleached calico.

In historic country houses, neutrals of this weight were used instead of white on ceilings and fine plaster mouldings. It’s a lovely way to bring period charm to a modern space.

Flight Pink 354 is a gentle, neutral rose-brown shade that makes the perfect, inviting backdrop.

Marle 335 is a luxurious brown shade with comforting warmth. It looks effortlessly chic when paired with natural, textured and patterned furnishings.

Elysian Yellow 356 is a balanced, neutral yellow with a fun backstory. Used in the intricate redecoration of The Chinese House in Stowe, this shade was used on a small timber pavilion that once stood on stilts in a pond near the estate’s ‘Elysian Fields’. Having been removed in 1751, the building spent periods on other estates both locally and in Ireland and was returned to Stowe to undergo a complete, but faithful, refurbishment in 1996.

Brûlée 357 is for those spaces you want to spark energy and creativity. Team it with brighter yellows or let it loose as an enigmatic signature colour among darker shades to really bring out its rich tones.

Mid And Cooler Neutrals

Barge Stone Family (Pale 358, Mid 359, Barge Stone 360, Barge Stone Dark 361) is a timeless putty shade that sits perfectly alongside cooler, natural finishes.

Oilcloth 362 is an excellent alternative to grey or black for grounding a neutral scheme.

Cobble 363 is understated, subtle and neutral. This clever grey coordinates effortlessly with cooler, modern schemes.

Putti 292 is a muted grey-green paint colour ideal for hallways providing a relaxed and inviting scheme.

Colourful Scales

Celestial Blue Family 101 (Pale 364, Mid 365, Deep 366) is a dusky variant of Sky Blue, this soft, blue paint colour works well in both interior and exterior schemes.

Rome 367 is a deep, sophisticated blue which embraces its green undertone without verging on turquoise.

Boxington (Pale 368, Mid 369, Deep 370,): a reduced lime shade which provides a relaxing and elegant backdrop in dining rooms and studios.

Hillside 371: A warmer version of Sage Green, ‘Hillside’ is the perfect green for adding warmth to cool living rooms and functional kitchens.
