What color is Little Greene Mister David?

Little Greene Mister David 47 is a rich golden yellow with a clear mustard cast, sitting between sunny ochre and polished brass. Its strong saturation gives it real presence, making it especially effective on a kitchen island, painted dining chairs, a front door, or a single accent wall. In bright daylight, Mister David reads as lively and sunlit, while lower or warmer evening light brings out its deeper, earthier gold tones. Pair it with chalky off-whites, deep forest green, charcoal, or dark navy to give the color structure. Natural oak, aged brass, terracotta, and woven textures also complement its warm, grounded character.

What are Little Greene Mister David undertones?

Mister David 47 is a mid-light, strongly saturated yellow with a clear golden character. In the supplied digital sample, it leans slightly toward green rather than orange, giving the yellow a crisp, lively edge instead of a buttery look. Because no official undertone description was provided, that slight green bias is an observation of the HEX sample rather than a claim about the paint formula. Warm artificial light may make it read more golden, while cool daylight can bring out its cleaner yellow-green edge.
