Collection: New Little Greene Colours 2026

Little Greene has introduced 26 new colours for 2026 as part of a refresh of its Colours of England and Colour Scales collections.

The new palette includes five new Colours of England shades – Haye White, Parlour, Perpetual Blue, Floss and Ashes of Marigold, alongside 22 new colours within the Colour Scales collection. Little Greene has also brought one much-loved colour back from its archive.

It’s a lovely mix of colours, with everything from warm and understated neutrals to deeper blues, playful pinks, earthy oranges and versatile greens.

Colour Scales are groups of related colours that vary in depth and intensity, making it easier to combine shades that naturally work together. The 2026 refresh expands a number of these colour families and introduces new shades, giving you even more ways to create tonal schemes throughout your home.

Yes. The best finish will depend on what you're painting and the look you're trying to achieve.

For walls and ceilings, a matt finish gives you that beautiful, soft designer-paint look, while harder-wearing finishes can be a better option for woodwork, doors, cabinetry and other surfaces that need a little more durability.

When choosing your Little Greene paint, always check the individual product for the finishes available and make sure you're selecting a finish that's suitable for your particular project.

We always recommend trying a colour before committing to a full tin, particularly with designer paint colours.

Paint a sample in the room you're decorating and look at it at different times of day. Natural light can dramatically change how a colour looks, and a shade that looks perfect on a screen or colour card can feel quite different once it's on your wall.

If you're torn between two or three of the new Little Greene colours, sampling them next to each other can also make choosing much easier.

Several of the new Little Greene shades lend themselves beautifully to colour drenching.

Floss and Ashes of Marigold are both strong candidates if you want to embrace colour and create a room that feels completely immersive. Deeper shades from the refreshed palette can also work beautifully when used across walls, ceilings and woodwork.

Colour drenching doesn't necessarily mean choosing the darkest or brightest colour you can find. A softer shade can create just as much impact when it's carried across multiple surfaces.
