Green Raft

Dulux

The Analysis

Green Raft is a muted, earthy neutral that acts as a bridge between grey and sage green. With an LRV of 48.45, it reflects a moderate amount of light, meaning it won't make a room feel starkly bright, but it also won't shrink your space like a dark charcoal would.

This is an ideal 'whole-room' neutral that replaces standard beige or off-white. It serves as a sophisticated, non-committal foundation that allows furniture and artwork to stand out without competing for attention.

LRV 48

History & Origin

It leans into a modern interpretation of heritage palettes. While it feels fresh, its earthy quality complements classic architecture just as well as it fits into contemporary homes.

How to Use It

Use this in living rooms or bedrooms where you want a calm atmosphere. Pair it with warm oak or walnut wood tones and matte black hardware to sharpen the look and prevent it from appearing too muddy.

The Mood

Living with this colour feels grounding and stable rather than energizing. It provides a restful, low-contrast backdrop that helps minimize visual clutter in busy living areas.

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.
