Wall Paint - Whirlybird No. 309

About Whirlybird No. 309

Whirlybird is a cheerful green, inspired by the spinning seeds loved by young gardeners and nature enthusiasts alike. It looks especially lively in the morning light and is best harmoniously complemented by Beverly and James White.

Colour Effect & Light

Whirlybird brings the outdoors in, appearing fresh or deep and cocooning depending on the light. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.

Combine Like the Pros

The official complementary white for Whirlybird is James White, ideal for ceilings, mouldings, and adjacent areas. Colour schemes recommended by Farrow & Ball: James White & All White · Middleton Pink & Skylight · Breakfast Room Green & Oval Room Blue · Middleton Pink & Beverly.
