A dark and smoky green
A smoky green blue, this colour was popular in interiors during the late 19th century. It has an irresistibly inviting deepness and weathered familiarity when used in exterior situations, while evoking calm and serenity when used inside.

Very apt name for a versatile colour
Used in my bedroom, lovely coverage and it really is a smoky green. I used the mat version and it has an almost misty texture which makes the dark green seem almost a soft and lighter shade but with depth of colour, it is coupled with Middleton Pink at the moment and is a surprisingly good contrast with this subtle pink bringing out that misty smoky pigment. However, I am intent on adding more drama and less romance to this room so it will be coupled with India Yellow eventually which will in my opinion change the shade of Green Smoke when the different pigments are enhanced by the complimentary/contrasting colour - really is a great versatile colour.

Beautiful colour
I had my mind made up pretty early on that we would use green smoke on our master bedroom feature wall. I’d seen a lot of posts on Instagram and the colour just looked beautiful. Our feature wall has a mixture of new plaster and mdf panels on it. I was a bit concerned how well the paint would go on over the mdf but there wasn’t any issues in the end. The colour itself changes throughout the day; depending on the light it can look more grey, blue or green. Overall really happy with the colour.
