Obsidian Green

At first glance, Obsidian Green belongs to the green 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 Obsidian Green 216 is an extremely deep green that sits close to black, with a restrained, low-saturation character. Its #132019 value shows a subtle green presence rather than a blue-black or warm brown-black cast. In bright daylight, the green becomes more readable; under low or warm artificial light, it can appear almost black. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, built-in shelving, or a small room where a dark envelope is wanted. Pair Obsidian Green with chalky off-whites, pale stone, aged brass, blackened metal, and natural oak for contrast and texture.
