Mallard Green

A Mallards intensely dark green plumage has inspired artists for hundreds of years but until relatively recently such highly pigmented paint colours would have been hugely expensive to produce in any quantity for interior decoration. Until the late 1800s all greens were notoriously hard to produce, the best shades containing lethal amounts of poisonous arsenic. With the discovery of a safe alternative ingredient in the late Georgian era, greens enjoyed a renewed period of popularity that has lasted until the present day. Now we can all revel in the deepest richest shades of green inspired by the raw beauty of the natural world where it creates a feeling of quiet pride and easy elegance. Perfect for studies, dining rooms, bedrooms and cloakrooms.
