Little Greene Madeleine Paint No. 338

This soft golden colour elegantly straddles the line between soft yellow and warm neutral. Its name comes from the delicate shell-shaped sponge cakes enjoyed by French Romantic writer Marcel Proust as a child. They are later referenced in his monumental literary work ‘In Search of Lost Time’; ‘Proust’s Madeleine’ later became an informal term for a childhood memory triggered by the senses. Use Madeleine as the main wall colour in a calm, welcoming space. Bring Bombolone or Fagote into the trim as a darker complementary shade for a contemporary interpretation of this charming neutral yellow.
