There are certain shades of green that never seem to fall from favour. They move quietly through centuries of interiors, from Georgian drawing rooms to contemporary kitchens, adapting themselves to changing fashions while retaining an enduring sense of ease and familiarity. Drawing on decades of expertise in historic architecture, traditional decoration and the study of natural pigments, Edward Bulmer has long championed colours that feel rooted in the landscape and entirely at home within period and contemporary interiors alike. His understanding of how colour behaves in relation to light, proportion and architectural detail informs every palette at Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, creating shades with depth, authenticity and lasting relevance. This could be because green belongs naturally in the home. It carries with it the calm of the landscape and the grounding presence of the natural world. At Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, our greens are deeply rooted in this understanding: nuanced colours made with natural pigments, designed to sit harmoniously within architecture and light. Read on to discover the greens that interior designers use over and over again. Invisible Green A historic shade originally used to blend gates and garden features into the landscape, Invisible Green is a beautifully vibrant deep green with remarkable versatility. It is a statement colour that works particularly well in kitchens, sitting rooms and garden-facing rooms. This top selling colour is anything but invisible – once seen never forgotten.

Its subtle olive undertones pair beautifully with natural materials and is great as an all-over colour for wood panelling. This makes it ideal for studies, dining rooms and characterful hallways.

Light Olive Green can be a great woodwork colour and is also robust enough for exterior use. It works beautifully in kitchens and living spaces where natural light can enhance its gentle warmth.

Why the design world needs to cut its carbon footprint The industrial revolution, or what you might call ‘the dawn of commercial design’ relied on the use of a new energy source – fossil fuels. From coal, to coal tar, to crude oil, to natural gas, their use began to alter the dynamic and the planet increasingly had to store the resultant carbon emissions in the atmosphere rather than in its vegetation, soils and oceans.
