What color is Little Greene Marine Blue?

Little Greene Marine Blue 95 is a deep blue-green with a pronounced teal cast, sitting closer to inky peacock tones than a straightforward navy. Its rich, dark value gives walls a grounded presence, while the green influence keeps it from feeling flat or overly blackened. In bright daylight, the blue-green character is more apparent; lower light draws it toward a deeper, shadowy tone. Use Marine Blue on a study, dining-room walls, or fitted cabinetry where its depth can define the architecture. It pairs especially well with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen, while soft clay or muted blush accents add useful warmth.

What are Little Greene Marine Blue undertones?

Marine Blue is a deep, strongly saturated teal-blue that reads dark while still showing clear color. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly toward green within its blue-teal family, so the overall effect is less purple-blue and more maritime blue-green. Little Greene’s official undertone description was not available in the provided source, so no manufacturer undertone claim can be confirmed. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its green-blue character, while cool daylight may make the blue aspect appear clearer.
