Y044d • gentle meadow green
Glaed™ is a tranquil, gentle meadow green that breathes serenity into a room. It is a highly desaturated, pale botanical neutral that leans into a delicate, yellow-based warmth. The colour is exceptionally responsive to light, reading as a crisp, airy grey-green in direct sunlight and settling into a soft, comforting sage in the shadows or under warm artificial illumination, thanks to its delicate earthy silicate base.

How is my order delivered?
Every order is sent by Parcelforce 24hr Tracked, so you can follow your parcel to your door. Delivery costs £4, and is free on orders over £75 and on complete 3-sample packs. In-stock toolkits ordered before midday are dispatched the same day.
Can I return paint?
No. Every tin is made on demand and tinted to order for you, so we are unable to accept returns of paint. Order samples first to be sure of your colour.
Can I return a toolkit?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery, if the toolkit is unopened. Toolkits are sold as a single toolkit, so once any item has been used the rest of the toolkit cannot be returned. Return postage is paid by you.
What if an item arrives faulty?
We will send a replacement for the specific faulty item. Email hello@cameroncolours.co.uk with your order number, which item or items are faulty, and photos showing the problem.
What if my colour looks wrong?
Paint colour develops over several days as it dries and cures, so please wait first. Then compare the dried colour with a sample and the coloured sticker on the tin, and email hello@cameroncolours.co.uk with photos of both held against the painted surface. If the colour is incorrect, we will replace or refund it, whichever you prefer.
What if a tin arrives dented or leaking?
A dented tin is fine to use. If a tin has a small leak, we will send an empty tin and lid so you can pour the paint across. If the box is soaked through with paint, bag it up, photograph it and email us so we can replace the paint. See our Delivery Policy for full guidance.

About this colour
Glaed™ is a tranquil, gentle meadow green that breathes serenity into a room. It is a highly desaturated, pale botanical neutral that leans into a delicate, yellow-based warmth. The colour is exceptionally responsive to light, reading as a crisp, airy grey-green in direct sunlight and settling into a soft, comforting sage in the shadows or under warm artificial illumination, thanks to its delicate earthy silicate base.
Undertone and lighting
Glaed™ has a warm undertone, so it leans towards red, yellow or brown and makes a room feel cosier.
It is at its best in north-facing rooms, where the light is cooler, softer and consistent all day; and in south-facing rooms, which get bright, warm light for most of the day; and in east- and west-facing rooms, which share the same light in reverse: direct, low sun for half the day and cooler, indirect light for the other half.
As a mid tone it holds colour without darkening a room, and works well with a lighter ceiling.

How do I know if Glaed™ will work in my room?
Order a 60ml sample pot, paint two coats onto a piece of white card, and move that card around the room over a full day.
