THE NEW MOOD

Grey has dominated the walls of the nation’s homes for over a decade, but recently there’s been a move towards more earthy neutrals – exemplified by ‘Stone’, a new colour card from Little Greene. Featuring 36 warm tones, it includes several inspired by National Trust properties, with pigments of architectural elements, tapestries, paints and even sections of stone recorded and recreated. Pictured is ‘Rolling Fog-Dark’ on the top half of the wall and ‘Arras’ below. Available in all paint finishes, a portion of sales goes to National Trust conservation. £47 for 2.5 litres of Absolute Matt Emulsion ( littlegreene.com).
