Little Greene Paint Sweet Treats, Galette 340. This mid-weight orange-brown shade was faithfully reproduced for the stage doors at one of the only surviving Regency playhouses in Britain, Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds. Cheaper to produce and good at concealing dirt, brown tones such as this were functional and popular choices in 1819. Fast-forward 200 years and this shade has become the epitome of good taste, its autumnal undertones make it an excellent colour to use alongside rustic natural finishes, be they oak or darker woods, and stone or quarry tiled floors. Add a flash of brighter colour with Mister David 47 in a contemporary scheme, or Yellow-Pink 46 in a more classical interior.
