Little Greene Paint Sweet Treats, Madeleine 338.  This muted gold colour elegantly serves the space between muted-yellow and warm-neutral. It takes its name from the delicate, shell-like sponge cakes that were enjoyed by the French romantic writer Marcel Proust as a boy.  They are later referenced in his monumental literary work, In the Search of Lost Time. 'Madeleine de Proust' has subsequently become an informal term for a childhood memory triggered by the senses.

Use Madeleine as the main wall colour in a calm, welcoming space. Bring in Bombolone 339 or Bassoon 336 on the trim as a darker complementary tone for a contemporary interpretation of this charming neutral yellow.
