Building a Palette With Ming Ivory

Planning colours across the home? Treat Ming Ivory as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• Charcoal accents - to ground the zing.
• Natural wood - for a relaxed, fresh feel.
• White and pale grey - to balance the brightness.

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Ming Ivory warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Worth Knowing

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as lime green shifts with the light in a room. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
