Little Greene is arguably the finest premium paint brand available to professional decorators in Hampstead NW3. Its colour range — informed by historical paint analysis dating back to the 1700s — is both broader and more nuanced than Farrow & Ball, and its Absolute Matt Emulsion has extraordinary pigment depth.
Little Greene vs Farrow & Ball
Both are excellent heritage paint ranges. Little Greene tends to offer more complex, multi-pigment colours with slightly more earthiness and depth. Farrow & Ball's palette leans slightly more chalky and contemporary. Many of our clients in Hampstead and Belsize Park use both brands within the same property.
Little Greene's Most Popular NW3 Colours
In Hampstead we most frequently apply: Slaked Lime Mid (warm white), French Grey Pale (sophisticated neutral), Aged Ivory (warm cream), Pale Lucie (chalky off-white), Juniper Ash (sage-grey), and Obsidian Green (deep forest green).
Little Greene for Woodwork
Little Greene Intelligent Eggshell for wood and metal is one of the best woodwork paints available — water-based but with an oil-like depth and hardness, it is ideal for sash windows, skirting boards, and doors in period Hampstead NW3 homes.
