Little Greene: English decorative history in a tin of paint
What makes the colours from Little Greene so special? Are all the colours historically inspired or are there also modern, bright colours from Little Greene? How many Little Greene colour shades are there in total?

As the first specialist retailer in Berlin, we have also been offering the entire range from the English colour manufacturer Little Greene since 2010. With no waiting times, you can get every colour shade and every colour quality from us to take away immediately.
Little Greene is the last English paint manufacturer that still produces a complete range of traditional and modern colours and is therefore also a partner for decorative research and restoration work for the heritage organisation English Heritage. Together, they have brought numerous historic colours back to life, reflecting the character of past centuries. Inspired by the most important eras of interior design - from early Georgian England to the late twentieth century - unique colour tones were created in this way. In combination with timeless classics and Little Greene's modern nuances, they form the "Colours of England" colour collection, with the historical shades marked with an English Heritage symbol. In total, Little Greene presents a palette of 191 colours with the other collections "Colour Scales", "Stone", "Grey" and "Blue".
- Little Greene colours are the ideal combination of tradition and modernity
- are available water- or oil-based
- achieve their colour depth based on the best natural, organic and harmless synthetic pigments
- are produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner
- and with every sale of Little Greene paints and wallpapers, a donation is made to English Heritage to preserve historic houses and landscapes
Little Greene makes it easy to choose the right colour:
Colour cards, colour albums, sample tins, cardboard boxes, videos and colour stories
Which of the many colour nuances suit me? Can all the colours be combined with each other? Where can I get inspiration? Where do Little Greene's extravagant colour names come from?

Choosing the right colour is crucial in any renovation project, as the paint usually stays on the wall for many years. Little Greene therefore provides a wide range of advice to help you decide on the right colour. The colour cards with foldable colour chips contain all 191 shades, which are also available in small sample tins. A professional colour album and a set of hand-painted cardboard boxes are also available in our shop. And Little is also at your side online when it comes to choosing colours: professional, aesthetic videos and pictures of captivating colour combinations explain the Little Greene colour collections and make you want to renovate. The stories behind each individual colour can also be inspiring. For example, the colour "Jewell Beetle" is inspired by the famous actress Ellen Terry, who was portrayed in 1889 as Lady McBeth in a magnificent green dress. George Frideric Handel's front door was the inspiration for "Chocolate Colour" and the colour "Goblin" goes back to a notable resident of Snowhill Manor in Gloucestershire.

The Little Greene colour finishes for every surface
Which finish is used for walls and ceilings, kitchens and bathrooms, wooden fittings, metal, masonry, PVC or façade coatings? Intelligent Matt Emulision, Intelligent or Traditional Oil Eggshell, Intelligent or Traditional Oil Gloss, water-based or oil-based?
The range of Little Greene paints and varnishes developed for all types of interior and exterior surfaces is extensive. What they all have in common is that the complex colour formulas have an exceptionally high pigment content, which results in an incomparable depth of colour. Those who choose the ideal colour finish will achieve a coat that will last forever. Here you will find detailed descriptions, ingredients and consumption data for each finish.

Little Greene and the environment
Are Little Greene colours environmentally and child-friendly? Can I also use the traditional oil-based Little Greene qualities with a clear conscience?
Because Little Greene attaches great importance to preserving and protecting the environment, in 2004 it was one of the first British paint manufacturers to produce in accordance with the European environmental standard BS EN ISO 14001. Maintaining high quality standards while minimising environmental impact is an essential part of the Little Green philosophy. The water-based paints have one of the best environmental footprints in the industry and Little Greene's oil-based paints are made with sustainable vegetable oils. The storage and packaging processes are also constantly being optimised to increase the proportion of recycled and recyclable materials and reduce the volume of waste. It goes without saying that production takes place exclusively in Great Britain.
Because every Little Greene colour is available in different qualities, you are also in the best hands when designing baby and children's rooms. Absolute Matt Emulsion, Intelligent Matt Emulsion and Intelligent Eggshell have been tested in accordance with the EU standard BS EN 71-3:1995, known as the Toy Safety Directive, and are proven to be free from toxic metals.
