Dupes for Reduced Green

Reduced Green is a deep neutral with a hushed green core
Reduced Green sits in the space between olive and brown, making it read as a sophisticated dark neutral rather than a true green. It feels quieter than Charleston Gray and softer than Off-Black, with just enough green to keep it alive under natural light.
Use it to ground rooms with warm timber, brass, and textured linens. It also works beautifully with muted greens like Treron and earthy neutrals such as Mouse's Back.
Where it shines
- Snugs and media rooms where a dark, steady backdrop is desirable.
- Panelled hallways and staircases that need depth.
- Front doors and exterior joinery for a muted heritage feel.
