Little Greene Madeleine No. 338 Paint

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 which were enjoyed by the French romantic writer Marcel Proust, as a boy. They are later referenced in his monumental literary work ‘In 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 or Bassoon on the trim as a darker complementary tone for a contemporary interpretation of this charming neutral yellow.
