01 / THE COLOR STORY
A color with character.
Treasured Green belongs to the Botanical Greens palette. A reassuring, deeply natural green inspired by garden foliage. Its rich but muted character creates intimate rooms with a strong sense of place. Its most useful design quality is how its deep foliage tone reacts to warm timber; compare it with natural oak and wool upholstery before building the rest of the scheme.
For a library corner, introduce chalk white as a quieter companion and use terracotta for a measured point of contrast. The aim is to test these relationships, not to treat a screen color as a paint specification.
02 / WHERE IT WORKSMake space for

the details.
Three ways to explore Treasured Green in a real interior. Every suggestion should be checked against the room's actual light and materials.
02
Hospitality interiors
Use chalk white on the connecting surfaces so Treasured Green has room to register. In a hospitality interiors, test the meeting point with doors, ceiling paint and the principal flooring before finalizing the palette.
03
Office
Bring in terracotta through one movable object or fabric rather than committing every surface to contrast. Check Treasured Green in the office under the actual lamps and available daylight.
03 / COLOR RELATIONSHIPS
A palette of restraint.
Explore these three actual color directions from the 2026 collection. The visual relationships are editorial suggestions; compare real samples before choosing a scheme.
04 / BEYOND THE SCREEN
Color belongs in the room.
Observe the light
Assess Treasured Green on two walls that receive different light. Its defining variable is how its deep foliage tone reacts to warm timber: compare the fully dried color near the window and deeper inside the room, then repeat after the evening lights are switched on. The neighboring natural oak and chalk white may change how its undertone appears.
Consider the finish
A low-sheen finish can make Treasured Green feel visually quieter beside wool upholstery, but a satin coating may be more suitable where cleaning is frequent. Test the selected manufacturer’s product on the actual substrate: sheen, texture and film build can affect the appearance, and the right specification depends on the room’s use.
Use real paint
Paint a sufficiently large sample of Treasured Green, allow it to dry according to the product instructions, and compare it directly with natural oak, wool upholstery and chalk white. Review the result in daylight and artificial light. A printed, real-paint fan deck or color chart is useful for comparing options, but the final on-site painted sample remains essential.

Designing an Interior Palette with Treasured Green
A foliage-inspired green with generous depth. In practical terms, Treasured Green can connect wool upholstery with natural oak without requiring every finish in the room to match. Its visual identity depends particularly on how its deep foliage tone reacts to warm timber.
For a library corner, begin with Treasured Green as the color under consideration, place chalk white beside it, and introduce terracotta in a limited accent. Photograph the test surfaces only as a record of the arrangement: make the final judgment in person, where material texture and reflected light are visible.
How Lighting and Finish Affect Treasured Green
When evaluating Treasured Green, pay close attention to how its deep foliage tone reacts to warm timber. Observe a dried test area beside natural oak in morning and late-day light; the same wall can change in apparent depth and undertone when the main source of illumination changes.
Choose matte, eggshell or satin for the coating’s service requirements rather than on appearance alone. Beside wool upholstery, a lower sheen may soften reflections; on a frequently handled surface, the paint manufacturer’s cleaning and durability guidance takes priority. Test the chosen sheen rather than assuming the digital image predicts it.
Checking Treasured Green with Real Paint Samples
Treasured Green is an editorial color direction in the 2026 PHOENiX collection. This reference is not a paint formulation or an instrument-certified match. Compare a fully cured sample at the scale, lighting and sheen intended for the project.
For brands developing customer-facing color collections, PHOENiX Sample can manufacture custom fan decks and color charts with real applied paint. These physical presentation tools support comparison of actual coated samples; product approval should still follow the paint manufacturer’s own specification and quality process.
