How it reads
Clay is a Little Greene mid-stone neutral with more ochre than its predecessors — warm, sandy and quietly elegant. It is the colour of dried river clay: not quite beige, not quite yellow.
It is very good in living rooms with pinkish upholstery and dark wood, where it reads as a soft golden backdrop. It comes in limewash and distemper as well as paint, which suits its earthen character.

Questions
Is Clay yellow?
It has an ochre undertone but reads as a warm stone rather than a yellow. Evening light brings the gold forward.
Does Little Greene publish an LRV for Clay?
No. The hex shown here is from a secondary source and is approximate.
