HILLSIDE

Jotun · 7385

The Analysis

Hillside is a soft, muted sage-green with a high LRV of 68.63, meaning it reflects a significant amount of light to keep your room feeling open and airy. Because it sits between yellow and grey undertones, it prevents the space from feeling cramped while adding more personality than a standard off-white.

Hillside functions best as a sophisticated main wall color or a subtle backdrop for artwork. It is versatile enough to cover an entire living area without the visual weight of a darker, saturated green.

LRV 69

History & Origin

This shade leans into a modern, fresh aesthetic rather than a rigid period style. It feels contemporary and natural, moving away from the heavy, dark palettes often associated with traditional Victorian interiors.

How to Use It

It pairs beautifully with light oak or walnut wood tones and matte black hardware for a high-contrast, modern look. It works exceptionally well in kitchens or bedrooms where you want to pair natural elements with crisp white trim.

The Mood

This color is inherently restful and grounding, making it an excellent choice for rooms where you want to decompress. It feels organic and calm, providing a clean, balanced environment that doesn't overwhelm the senses.

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.
