TREE LEAF

Jotun · 6262

The Analysis

Tree Leaf is a deep, saturated teal-green that absorbs a significant amount of light due to its low LRV of 9.02. It will make a room feel smaller and more enclosed, which is perfect for creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere rather than an airy one.

This is a bold choice that works best as a deliberate accent or a 'drenched' room color where you want to lean into the drama. It is too dark to serve as a neutral, so use it on feature walls, millwork, or cabinetry to add weight to a design.

LRV 9

History & Origin

It leans into a modern aesthetic, though its depth can bridge the gap between contemporary design and the rich, moody tones often found in Victorian-era studies or libraries.

How to Use It

Use this in smaller rooms like powder baths or dens, or on kitchen cabinets to create high contrast. Pair it with warm, natural wood tones or brushed brass to soften the coolness, or matte black for a sharp, industrial look.

The Mood

Because of its depth, this shade feels grounded and restful rather than energizing. It provides a stable, calming backdrop that prevents a room from feeling chaotic or overstimulated.

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.
