Earthy green paint
An organic, earthy green paint colour with subtle darkening undertones, Serpentine is inspired by the historic lake, once a natural tributary of the Thames and now one of Hyde Park’s most recognisable features. The colour reflects this sense of landscape and history, capturing the quiet depth and natural calm associated with water and greenery in the heart of London.
The soft earthy green colour introduces a gentle, organic quality, while the restrained black undertone adds depth and structure, giving the colour a slightly muted character. This balance creates a colour that feels calm and grounded, yet refined. The result is a composed and versatile green that sits comfortably within both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Serpentine works particularly well applied to walls and ceilings, where its soft depth creates a calm and restful atmosphere, introducing quiet character. Its understated tone also makes it well suited to cabinetry and woodwork when used in Plant Based Multi Surface Matt, Eggshell or Gloss, where it adds depth without overpowering the scheme. Calm and nature-inspired, Serpentine brings depth and balance to any space.

Product data & safety sheets
Every Mylands paint is water-based and contains only trace levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) - far below what regulations allow. In practice, that means very little odour while you paint, quick drying between coats, and brushes and rollers that rinse clean in warm soapy water, with no need for white spirit.
Once fully dry, the finish is certified to EN 71-3:2019, the European toy-safety standard, so it can be used with confidence in nurseries, children's bedrooms and playrooms - even on painted toys, cots and furniture - and in homes with pets.
As with any paint, keep the room well ventilated while you work and let surfaces dry completely before children and animals return.
Mylands water-based paints are among the gentler decorative finishes you can bring into a home, but the usual common-sense precautions still apply:
- Keep paint out of the reach of children and away from food and drink.
- Ventilate the room well during application and drying.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If paint gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
- If swallowed, rinse the mouth and drink plenty of water, then seek medical advice with the tin or label to hand.
- Like most water-based paints, the formulation contains small amounts of preservative, which may produce an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals.
Store tins upright, tightly closed, somewhere cool and frost-free. Never pour leftover paint down the drain: allow residues to dry out, then take them - tin included - to your local household-waste collection point.
