Manufacturer description
Little Greene Middle Buff 122 is a rich, earthy ochre with a clear golden-orange cast and a gently browned base. Its mid-depth tone gives walls noticeable color without reading as overly dark, especially in rooms with good daylight. In brighter light, the warm amber notes come forward; under softer evening lighting, it settles into a deeper, more burnished brown. Middle Buff suits dining rooms, hallways, kitchens, or a small study, and it can bring welcome weight to cabinetry or a painted front door. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm clay neutrals, dark wood, aged brass, and natural linen for a grounded, material-led scheme.
