Little Greene at IWM North
Little Greene is the paint sponsor of Imperial War Museum North. The museum utilises the Little Greene palette to create an engaging environment. Our paints have featured in many of their exhibitions including ‘Blitzed Brits, Horrible Histories,’ ‘Fashion on the Ration’ and ‘Yemen, Inside a Crisis.’
Contemporary greys, Scree, Shallows and Urbane Grey, provide a moody, pensive atmosphere to complement the themes of this exhibition, which focuses on the Troubles that affected Northern Ireland for nearly 30 years, and remain a sensitive issue to this day.

From Street to Trench: A World War that Shaped a Region, 2014
The Imperial War Museum North have launched their latest exhibition 'From Street to Trench: A World War that Shaped a Region'. The exhibition gives a very special insight into the contribution made by the North West during the First World War and incorporates a series of films, sound recordings, photographs, artworks and letters.
We have sponsored the exhibition by supplying several colours for the stands and walls throughout the display. The colours vary from 'Canton' and 'Celestial Blue' to 'Tuscan Red'. The exhibition contains a compelling range of eye catching colours from the Little Greene collection and act as a perfect accompaniment to the IWM’s unrivalled national collection.
Nissen Richards Studio, the interior designers for the exhibition commented ‘The carefully selected colour palette is classic but works fantastically in a contemporary setting.’
The paint colours used can be seen in the photographs below:
