1970’s Colours
Before the current obsession with terracotta and warm brown, the 1970s were already there. Harvest golds, avocado greens, burnt siennas, and deep tobacco tones — colours that have since been caricatured, but in their original context were genuinely considered, warm, and deeply liveable. Chicago's vintage coach houses and larger apartment buildings still carry these palettes under layers of builder's white.
Little Greene's 1970s range rescues these colours from nostalgia and returns them to where they belong — on walls that deserve more than magnolia.
Juniper Ash No. 115 is a deep atmospheric neutral with the tactile character of historic mineral pigments, giving walls and joinery a calm, architectural confidence.
Flint No. 236 is a airy earthy ochre with the tactile character of historic mineral pigments, creating a sunlit atmosphere even in spaces with limited natural light.
Apple No. 137 is a mid-tone mellow yellow with an organic, garden-inspired character, adding warmth and lift without becoming overly bright.
Juniper Ash No. 115 is a deep atmospheric neutral with the tactile character of historic mineral pigments, giving walls and joinery a calm, architectural confidence.

Elysian Ground No. 320 is a rich warm neutral designed to layer effortlessly within tonal colour schemes, bringing a soft architectural structure to both modern and period spaces.
Grey Stone No. 276 is a mid-tone cool grey with the tactile character of historic mineral pigments, bringing architectural definition without the severity of a true black.

Jack Black No. 119 is a crisp, true near-black with a cool undertone, delivering sharp architectural definition without feeling flat.
