Operated by The Little Greene Paint Company. United Kingdom.
A name and a number, similar in shape to Farrow & Ball's. Colours drawn from historical archives often carry a period attribution alongside the number.
Colourwise holds no Little Greene colour data — no names, no codes, no digital values, no LRVs. Two independent refusals. The terms restrict content to personal use and forbid commercial use outright, and the site actively blocks automated clients at the edge. The bot barrier matters beyond the technical inconvenience: deploying one is an expressed intention about automated access, and working around it would be acting against a stated position rather than an unstated one.
For any actual colour value, go to Little Greene’s own site, which is where the authoritative and current version lives.
Range names only. The colours within them are not reproduced here.
Two separate columns on purpose. A value being visible on a public page says nothing about whether it may be republished — that is what the terms of use decide, and here they say no.

Could not be read: the host answers non-browser requests with a Cloudflare challenge (HTTP 403). An unreadable robots.txt behind a bot barrier is treated as the most restrictive answer, not the absence of one.
Reviewed 2026-08-22. robots.txt governs crawling, not reuse.
Little Greene is "the owner or licensee of all intellectual property rights in the Website"; a visitor "may print off one copy and may download extracts" for personal use but "must not use any part of the content for commercial purposes".
Cloudflare interstitial returns HTTP 403 to non-browser clients — even for robots.txt, which is served as a challenge page rather than a policy file.
Written permission. The bot barrier means even a permitted ingestion would need a supplied data file rather than site access.
