How they read
In their own wordsClay 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.
Maritime White is a warm, creamy off-white with a green-grey base that stops it from tipping into yellow. At LRV 72 it is soft rather than bright — an ivory, not a white — and in a bedroom it makes everything feel calmer and slightly older, in the best way.
