Serpentine

There is more to Little Greene Serpentine (233) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. An LRV of 28.5 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.

Manufacturer description

Little Greene Serpentine 233 is a muted olive-grey with a soft, earthy cast that sits comfortably between green, taupe, and stone. Its medium depth keeps it grounded without making a room feel dark, while the low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, natural appearance. In bright daylight, Serpentine can read as a quiet grey-green; under warmer evening lighting, its khaki and brown undertones become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, studies, hallways, and cabinetry where a restrained alternative to standard grey is wanted. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm wood, aged brass, linen, and dark brown or charcoal details for a layered, material-led scheme.
