How they read
In their own wordsPleat is a deep, grey-softened teal from Little Greene — blue-green with enough grey to feel tailored rather than tropical. It is the color of a copper roof that has weathered for a century, and it is one of the best colors there is for tongue-and-groove panelling.
Sea Salt is a soft green-grey that changes its mind with the light: green in a sunny room, blue-grey in a shaded one. At LRV 63 it is light enough for a whole room and quiet enough to live with for years, which is why it has become a modern classic for bedrooms and bathrooms.
