# Little Greene Pleat

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/pleat-280](https://plan-home.com/color/pleat-280)

Little Greene Pleat 280 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable grey cast, giving it a grounded, slightly weathered appearance rather than a bright teal finish. Its mid-depth value makes it substantial enough for cabinetry, a study, or a dining room wall, while still feeling softer than a deep forest green. In cooler daylight, Pleat can read more blue and mineral-like; warmer lamps tend to draw out its quieter green side. Pair it with chalky off-whites, pale stone, warm oak, aged brass, or blackened steel for contrast. On exterior joinery or a front door, this shade has enough depth to hold its own against brick, limestone, and natural planting.
