What color is Little Greene Canton?

Little Greene Canton 94 is a deep blue-green with a noticeable teal cast and a grounded, mid-dark depth. Its cool character reads crisp in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out a slightly softer, earthier green note. Use it on kitchen cabinetry or a study wall where its saturation can hold its own against pale plaster, warm white trim, or natural oak. Brushed brass, aged bronze, terracotta, and off-white linen give Canton a considered contrast without making the scheme feel overly formal. On an exterior door or garden-facing joinery, this color has enough weight to stand out against brick, stone, or muted neutral render.

What are Little Greene Canton undertones?

Canton 94 is a deep, softly muted teal with a clear blue-green character and enough saturation to keep it from reading as gray. It leans slightly greener than a straight blue, giving it a cool overall impression while still looking rich and substantial. The supplied digital color suggests a blue-green bias, but the manufacturer’s description of any specific undertone is not available here. Warm artificial light may bring out a little more of its green warmth, while cool daylight can make its blue side appear more noticeable.
