The Analysis
Puck is a deep, rich forest green that absorbs a significant amount of light due to its low Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 7.04. Because it is so dark, it will make a room feel smaller and more intimate rather than bright or airy.
This is a bold, high-impact choice that functions best as a statement wall or as an 'envelope' colour for a moody study or library. It is too heavy to serve as a subtle backdrop and works best when applied to all surfaces to create a cohesive, cocooning effect.
LRV 7History & Origin
Puck leans into the classic heritage aesthetic, evoking the traditional deep greens found in formal Victorian studies and country manors. It feels established and timeless rather than fleetingly trendy.
How to Use It
Use this in rooms where you want drama, such as a cozy snug, a dining room, or a bedroom. Pair it with warm, mid-tone oak or walnut wood and unlacquered brass hardware to lift the depth of the green.
The Mood
Living with this shade creates a restful, grounded atmosphere that feels shielded from the outside world. It is a stable, mature colour that avoids feeling overly stimulating, making it ideal for spaces intended for relaxation.
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.
