Jade Cluster 1

Dulux

The Analysis

Jade Cluster 1 is a deep, saturated forest green that pulls light out of a room rather than reflecting it. Because of its very low LRV (Light Reflectance Value) of 6.62, it will make a space feel enclosed and intimate rather than open and airy.

This is a high-impact colour best used as a bold accent or for 'colour drenching' a small space like a powder room or study. It is too dark to serve as a neutral backdrop for a whole home, as it will dominate the visual landscape.

History & Origin

This deep green is a classic choice for Heritage-style homes, often used in libraries or studies to mimic the moody, intellectual aesthetic of the 19th century. It feels rooted in tradition rather than current, high-gloss modern trends.

How to Use It

Pair this colour with warm, honey-toned woods or aged brass hardware to soften its intensity. For a modern edge, stick to matte black fixtures, but ensure you have dedicated task lighting to prevent the corners of the room from disappearing into shadow.

The Mood

This shade creates a grounded, restful atmosphere that feels serious and sophisticated. It is an excellent choice for rooms where you want to signal that it is time to wind down and disconnect.

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.
