Little Greene Paint

Little Greene paint stands for British craftsmanship in pure colour. Since 1773 the brand has been producing paint in Wales with a depth and pigmentation you can see in every layer — from historic country-house tones to fresh contemporary colours. Choosing Little Greene means choosing paint that catches the light and gives a room character.

Why Little Greene paint?

Little Greene paint stands out for two reasons: colour quality and sustainability. The pigments are richer than those of mass-market paints, so tones on the wall do exactly what the colour card promises. All water-based variants carry the EU Ecolabel and are safe for use in children's rooms. The tins are fully recyclable — sustainability is part of Little Greene's DNA, not its marketing.

Finishes: from Absolute Matt to Intelligent Gloss

Little Greene offers a finish for every surface. Absolute Matt Emulsion (2% sheen) delivers a chalky, almost velvet-like look — ideal for bedrooms and ceilings. Intelligent Matt has the same matte appearance but is scrubbable, perfect for hallways and kitchens. For woodwork there is Intelligent Eggshell (soft sheen) or Intelligent Gloss (high gloss, indoor and outdoor). For floors and stairs, choose Intelligent Floor Paint.

Intelligent Paints: up to 15x tougher than ordinary wall paint

The Intelligent range is Little Greene's answer to daily life. These water-based paints are up to fifteen times more scrub-resistant than standard household paint, fully washable and low-odour. In a busy home with children or pets, that means: wipe marks away with a damp cloth, done.

Colour collections with a story

Little Greene collaborates with the National Trust to bring historic colours from British country houses back to life. Three collections stand out:

• Colours of England — a hundred years of British colour history in one palette
• Colour Scales — tonal shades that combine effortlessly
• Sweet Treats — warm, delectable colours with character

Unsure about the colour? Order a sample

Colour on a screen always differs from colour on your wall. Order a Little Greene colour card or a 60 ml sample pot in Absolute Matt, and test the shade on different walls and in different light. You can also combine the paint with Little Greene wallpaper for a fully coordinated interior.
