Forest
Forest sits in our High-end Paint range with an undertone that doesn't pick a side, undertones of pine, and a character that's deep and woodland. Works alongside burr-walnut, antique brass and bottle-green velvet. Most Forest installs end up on alcove and chimney-breast features or home offices and studies. Deep enough to feel architectural; warm enough to feel intentional. The lineage is club library, but the way it sits on a wall is unmistakably current.

Questions clients ask about this shade
Won't Forest make the room feel smaller?+
Deep shades like Forest 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 Forest?+
Forest 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 Forest pair with from your range?+
We most often pair Forest 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.
