Olive Grove
Mid-depth and confident — neither washed-out nor heavy. In the Natural Limewash range, Olive Grove reads as deep, herbaceous wall colour, built on a warm undertone you can feel across the room and ripe olive pigment. We see Olive Grove specified most often for fireplace walls and bed-headboard recesses and home offices and studies. It sits comfortably alongside aged brass, walnut, natural rattan and unbleached linen. Owes a small debt to Mediterranean grove, but doesn't ask the rest of the room to follow.

Questions clients ask about this shade
How does Olive Grove change through the day?+
Mid-tones like Olive Grove shift the most across the day — expect it to read slightly honeyed at golden hour and to settle into a deeper version of itself by evening.
How does Olive Grove age over time?+
Olive Grove develops a softer, slightly more powdery character as the limewash cures over the first 2–4 weeks. After that it stays stable but takes on the patina of handling and light.
What does Olive Grove pair with from your range?+
We most often pair Olive Grove 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.
