Eucalyptus

Within the High-end Paint range, Eucalyptus carries true-neutral undertones that don't fight other materials and dusty olive undertones — calming mid-green in overall character. Pale-but-pigmented: closer to a wash than a flat coat. Most Eucalyptus installs end up on ensuites or dressing rooms. Borrows its character from spa modern interiors and re-reads them in a modern context. It sits comfortably alongside aged brass, walnut, natural rattan and unbleached linen.
