Jade Cluster 2

Dulux

The Analysis

Jade Cluster 2 is a deep, saturated green that will make a room feel smaller and more enclosed, which is perfect for creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Because it has a low Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 15.19, it absorbs most light rather than bouncing it around, so be prepared for the room to feel significantly darker than it did with lighter walls.

Due to its high pigment density, this colour works best as a bold statement. It excels as a dramatic backdrop in a study or as a moody accent wall, but it may overwhelm a small space if you apply it to every surface.

History & Origin

This is a modern interpretation of a classic Heritage palette, reminiscent of the dark, moody greens often found in traditional library or study aesthetics. It bridges the gap between old-world sophistication and contemporary interior design.

How to Use It

Pair this with warm wood tones like walnut or oak to balance the coolness of the green. For hardware, matte black provides a sharp, modern contrast, while unlacquered brass adds a touch of classic warmth against the dark base.

The Mood

This shade provides a restful and grounded environment, making it an excellent choice for rooms where you want to switch off and relax. It feels stable and restorative rather than energizing, which helps in creating a calm retreat from a busy day.

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.
