Color Codes
Manufacturer description
Little Greene China Clay - Dark 178 is a muted, mid-tone clay beige with a noticeable rosy cast. Its #cbb1a2 value reads warm without becoming orange, sitting somewhere between softened terracotta dust and pale putty. In bright daylight, China Clay - Dark can appear lighter and more pink-beige, while lower or cooler light draws out its quieter taupe notes. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces where a grounded wall color is wanted without the heaviness of a deeper brown. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm grey stone, natural oak, linen, aged brass, or muted olive accents for a layered, material-led interior.
