At Selected Wallpapers you can order the complete Little Greene paint collection — including wallpaper for a fully coordinated interior.

Little Greene paint: quality you see and feel

Little Greene has been producing paint in Wales for more than 250 years. The colours were developed from historical archive material — their collaboration with the National Trust gives the brand access to original paint samples from British country houses. The result: shades with an honesty and depth that modern colour programmes rarely achieve. The pigmentation is so rich that two coats are sufficient in most cases for a full, even finish.

EU Ecolabel, recyclable tins, low odour

All water-based variants carry the EU Ecolabel and are safe for children's rooms and bedrooms. The tins are fully recyclable, the formulas are low-odour and quick-drying. Sustainability at Little Greene is not a marketing layer — it is embedded in the production process.

Colour collections with a story

Little Greene groups its colours into carefully curated collections, each with its own character and palette:

  • Colours of England — a century of British colour history in one palette, from off-white to deep earthy tones
  • Colour Scales — tone-on-tone shades that combine effortlessly for a harmonious, layered look
  • Sweet Treats — warm, characterful colours that instantly give a room atmosphere

Unsure about colour? Order a sample pot

Colour on a screen always differs from colour on your wall — and morning light is different from evening light. Order a Little Greene colour card or a 60 ml sample pot in Absolute Matt to test the shade at home on different walls and in different light conditions. Combine the paint with Little Greene wallpaper for a fully coordinated interior from floor to ceiling.
