JADE

Jotun · 6315

The Analysis

Jade is a balanced, mid-toned green-grey that acts as a neutral rather than a bright pop of color. With an LRV of 47.72, it reflects a moderate amount of light, meaning it won't overwhelm a space but provides enough depth to keep the walls from looking washed out.

This color functions best as a sophisticated main wall color or a cohesive backdrop for curated decor. It is subtle enough to cover an entire room without feeling like it is closing the space in.

LRV 48

History & Origin

This is a modern take on heritage palette classics, drawing inspiration from mid-century interiors while remaining neutral enough for contemporary homes. It avoids the kitschy feel of vintage pastels in favor of a muted, professional aesthetic.

How to Use It

It excels in living rooms or bedrooms where you want a calm atmosphere. Pair it with light oak or walnut wood tones for warmth, and use matte black hardware to sharpen the look or brushed brass for a softer, elevated feel.

The Mood

Living with this shade is consistently restful and grounding. It avoids the agitation of bright primary colors, making it an excellent choice for areas where you want to decompress after a long 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.
