Soft Jade

Overview

Soft Jade is a light, cool green with a semi-gloss finish, marked by HEX #CCE0D9. It excels in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and garden-facing rooms, providing a fresh, grounded feel without making a harsh statement. This colour can change noticeably under daylight, warm lamps, and when paired with different materials, so it's important to test it alongside trims, flooring, cabinetry, and fabrics before deciding on a full room application. Start with a restrained palette and introduce a stronger accent only if the sample seems flat.

Where Soft Jade works best

Soft Jade is most effective in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and garden-facing rooms. On larger walls, it often feels more balanced when trims, hardware, and furniture provide contrast. If uncertain, start with a single wall, joinery face, robe interior, or vanity, and observe it under different lighting conditions before expanding its use.

Pairing and contrast advice

Black, charcoal, or other dark details stand out against Soft Jade, with a contrast ratio of 15.23:1 against black and 1.38:1 against white. It pairs well with warm whites, timber, travertine, linen, and muted brass. Without linked style profiles, keep the initial palette simple and let materials enhance the visual impact.

Finish notes

The semi-gloss finish of Soft Jade enhances its vividness as reflected light accentuates edges and surface variations. This quality is beneficial for trims, doors, and feature joinery, but requires careful preparation. On large walls, the finish can feel busy unless balanced with a restrained palette.
