Colours That Pair With Cactus Pete

  • Terracotta or ochre - a warm, earthy accent.
  • Natural oak and rattan - echoes the outdoors.

Repeating a pairing across connected spaces ties the home together.

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Cactus Pete holds a steady tone from day to evening.

Finish: Matte in living rooms and bedrooms for a soft, premium feel; washable satin in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Paint

Try a sample pot on more than one wall before deciding, as green shades can look quite different in morning and evening light. A colour-tinted undercoat helps this mid-tone reach full depth in fewer coats.
