Truffle

Dark, enveloping, and unmistakably grounding. Truffle is deep and sophisticated — a high-end paint shade with a warm undertone you can feel across the room and clear warm brown-grey undertones. The natural home for Truffle is guest bedrooms with softer light — and increasingly split-level stair walls. It works beautifully with terracotta, brick, hand-thrown ceramics and warm timbers. It reads modern luxe in spirit without locking the room into a single period.

FAQs about Truffle

Questions clients ask about this shade

Won't Truffle make the room feel smaller?+

Deep shades like Truffle 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 Truffle?+

Truffle 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 Truffle pair with from your range?+

We most often pair Truffle with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, it works beautifully with terracotta, brick, hand-thrown ceramics and warm timbers.
