Jewel Beetle

At first glance, Jewel Beetle belongs to the yellow family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. A green undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. Its related shades below reveal where the color harmonizes—and where contrast brings it fully to life.

Manufacturer description

Little Greene Jewel Beetle 303 is a muted olive green with a noticeable grey cast, giving it an earthy, slightly weathered appearance. Its medium-dark depth makes it especially effective on cabinetry, interior doors, or a study wall where a stronger color can ground the room. In bright daylight, Jewel Beetle can read as a softened green, while lower light draws out its deeper, more khaki-toned character. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, and stone for a layered scheme that feels considered rather than overly decorative. It also has enough weight for exterior trim or a front door against pale masonry.
