Green Earth

Gentle on the eyes and on the spirit, Green Earth was a firm favourite in Georgian homes. As the name suggests it was a much-used earth pigment based on natural clay that resulted in a wide variety of beautiful soft organic greens. Also known as ‘Terre Verte’, the best pigments came from Cornwall, Germany and Verona. Pastel greens such as this are still the most restful and reliable colours to bring nature into an interior and create a space that is equally suited to feelings of quiet contemplation or busy family life. Ideal in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms and hallways.
