Little Greene Galette

Description

This mid-weight orange-brown shade was faithfully reproduced for the stage doors at the only surviving Regency playhouse in Britain; Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds. Cheaper to produce and good at concealing dirt, brown tones such as this were functional and popular choices in 1819. Fast-forward 200 years and this shade has become the epitome of good taste, its autumnal undertones make it an excellent colour to use alongside rustic natural finishes, be they oak or darker woods, and stone or quarry tiled floors. Add a flash of brighter colour with Mister David in a contemporary scheme, or Yellow-Pink in a more classical interior.
