Crushed Pine 2

Dulux

The Analysis

Crushed Pine 2 is a mid-tone green with a significant depth, thanks to its LRV of 26.5. Because it absorbs more light than it reflects, it will make a space feel cozy and intimate rather than open and airy.

It works best as a feature wall or for cabinetry to add character without overwhelming the room. If used on all four walls, expect the room to feel smaller and more enclosed, which can be an advantage in a dedicated library or home office.

History & Origin

This colour leans into a heritage aesthetic, reminiscent of the traditional deep greens used in early 20th-century interiors. It feels established and classic rather than temporary or trendy.

How to Use It

Pair this with warm walnut wood tones or matte black hardware to lean into its moody, sophisticated side. It performs best in rooms with plenty of natural light to prevent it from feeling too dark or 'heavy'.

The Mood

This shade promotes a sense of stability and calm, making it a restful choice for spaces where you want to unwind. It feels grounded and reliable, avoiding the jittery energy of brighter, neon-adjacent greens.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
