Color Codes
Manufacturer description
Little Greene Dark Lead Colour 118 is a deep, muted grey with a gently warm, earthy cast rather than a sharp blue tone. Its #6d6a65 value gives it a softened charcoal appearance, with subtle brown-beige notes that keep the color from feeling flat. In bright daylight, Dark Lead Colour can read as a restrained mid-to-dark neutral, while lower or warmer light brings out its slightly smoky, taupe-like character. It suits studies, dining rooms, hallways, and cabinetry where a grounded darker shade is wanted without using near-black. Pair it with chalky off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and stone finishes for a calm, material-led scheme.
