The single most-installed Endurance colour in Cornwall — a soft sage-green that flatters granite and painted-render frontages equally.
Chartwell green is a soft, chalky sage-mint that has become the signature colour of coastal Cornwall. It takes its name from Churchill's home at Chartwell and has an almost period-paint quality that suits granite, slate and painted render.
It is the finish we fit most often in Padstow, Rock, St Mawes, Fowey and the Roseland, where a stronger green would look heavy and white would look bare.

Granite is a cool grey with green and blue flecks in it. Chartwell picks those flecks up rather than fighting them, which is why a chartwell door on a stone cottage looks settled from day one. Against limewashed or cream render it gives just enough contrast to define the entrance.
Chartwell green is one of the finishes most commonly accepted by Cornwall Council conservation officers, alongside cream, sage and black. It is not automatic approval — policies are street-by-street — but it is rarely the colour that causes a problem.
Chartwell is a pale finish, so it shows less salt film than dark colours and less road grime than white. Cornwall's salt-laden air is the single biggest factor in how any door finish ages, so we fit marine-grade stainless hardware as standard within two miles of the coast and recommend a rinse with clean water and a soft cloth every couple of months. No polish, no solvents, no jet wash. Done that way, the colour is covered by a 10-year colour-fastness guarantee and the door itself by a 10-year mechanical guarantee.
Pairs well with: Pewter, antique black or chrome hardware; cottage and traditional door styles.
