Bold classic green — ideal for rural Cornish homes, farmhouses and properties among trees and hedgerows.
This is a true mid-green — deeper and more saturated than sage or chartwell, closer to the bottle greens used on Victorian and Edwardian doors and on Cornish shopfronts.
It is a confident colour that works where a pale green would look washed out: dark granite frontages, heavily shaded porches, and properties with strong architectural detailing that can carry a saturated finish.

Deep green with brass hardware is one of the most historically accurate combinations for a Victorian terrace. It also picks up planting well, which matters where a door opens straight onto a garden or a granite path rather than a pavement.
Sage is grey-green and muted; chartwell is pale mint; this green is the saturated option. If a colour sample looks weak against your wall, this is usually the finish to move to. If it looks heavy, move the other way to sage.
Saturated colours show water spotting slightly more than pale ones but hide general grime well. 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: Brass, pewter or black hardware; traditional and cottage door styles.
