How it reads
Aquamarine No. 138 is a Little Greene colour from its Colour Scales range, described by the brand as "a classic combination of blue-green and umber", an elegant tone with great depth.
In the Edwina Boase rooms on this page, photographed by Darren Chung, it covers the walls of a Brighton home.
What Aquamarine is
Aquamarine No. 138 belongs to Little Greene's Colour Scales range. The brand describes it as "a classic combination of blue-green and umber", an elegant tone with great depth.
The umber in the mix keeps it from reading minty: it is a grey-green that leans sage.
How it behaves in light
With an LRV around 43 it is a true mid-tone. The umber base means it greys under warm light and shows more blue-green in daylight.
We found no designer commentary on how it shifts by orientation, so sample it on site.
Where to use it
In the Edwina Boase rooms on this page, photographed by Darren Chung, Aquamarine covers the walls of a Brighton home.
Its deeper sibling, Aquamarine Deep, was used by Jewel Marlowe Interiors at the 2025 Hampton Designer Showhouse.
