Champagne

Light without being empty — there's pigment here, you can feel it. Champagne sits in our High-end Paint range with warm pigment that flatters timber, brass and linen, undertones of gold-cream, and a character that's softly luminous. The natural home for Champagne is principal bedrooms — and increasingly hotel lobby walls and lift cores. Sits comfortably next to terracotta floors, oak joinery and unbleached cotton. The lineage is Art Deco, but the way it sits on a wall is unmistakably current.

FAQs about Champagne

Questions clients ask about this shade

Does Champagne hold up in north-facing rooms?+

Yes — Champagne carries enough warm pigment that it doesn't go flat or grey in cool daylight. The gold-cream undertone is what stops it bleaching out.

What sheen options come in Champagne?+

Champagne is tinted into your choice of dead-matt, soft eggshell or low-sheen satin. For rooms with high handling — hallways, kitchens — we'd usually recommend eggshell.

What does Champagne pair with from your range?+

We most often pair Champagne with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, it plays well with oak, brass, linen, brushed nickel and unpolished plaster.
