Emerald Deep
Emerald Deep sits in our High-end Paint range with a cool undertone that keeps the air feeling open, undertones of bottle-green, and a character that's jewel-toned. Pigment-dense and unapologetic — a wall colour, not an accent. We see Emerald Deep specified most often for alcove and chimney-breast features and hotel lobby walls and lift cores. The lineage is Victorian glamour, but the way it sits on a wall is unmistakably current. It sits comfortably alongside aged brass, walnut, natural rattan and unbleached linen.

Questions clients ask about this shade
Won't Emerald Deep make the room feel smaller?+
Deep shades like Emerald Deep actually blur a room's edges, making walls feel further away rather than closer. The trick is to wrap the colour onto skirting and trim so there are no high-contrast lines to remind the eye where the room ends.
What sheen options come in Emerald Deep?+
Emerald Deep 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 Emerald Deep pair with from your range?+
We most often pair Emerald Deep with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, works alongside burr-walnut, antique brass and bottle-green velvet.
