Lichen Cellular Shades

Lichen is the color of forests, mosses, and ancient stone walls—a soft, muted green-grey that brings the tranquility of nature indoors. This complex, nuanced hue is neither too green nor too grey; it is perfectly balanced to complement both warm wood tones and cool contemporary finishes. Lichen cellular shades are the ideal choice for biophilic interiors, creating a visual connection to the natural world that reduces stress and enhances well-being. The color shifts subtly with changing light, appearing more green in morning sun and more grey in afternoon shade. Available across all cellular constructions: ¾-inch and 1⅛-inch single-cell, 1⅛-inch double-cell, and all opacities (light-filtering, room-darkening, blackout). Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with cordless, continuous cord loop, top-down/bottom-up, or motorized operation. Nature, captured.

A Color of Many Dimensions

Lichen is far more than a simple blend of green and grey—it is a complex, multi‑pigment formulation that reveals different facets throughout the day. In morning sun, its green undertones feel fresh and alive; in afternoon shade, the grey base becomes calm and grounding. This depth and nuance require specialized dye techniques that standard formulations cannot achieve. Lichen is a premium, artisan‑level color.

Biophilic Design Affinity

Biophilic design aims to strengthen the connection between people and nature. Lichen’s direct reference to forest ecosystems makes it an exceptional choice for biophilic interiors. Pair it with natural wood, stone, and abundant greenery. The color promotes calm, reduces stress, and feels right at home in bedrooms, living rooms, wellness spaces, and healthcare environments.

Available in All Opacities

  • Light‑Filtering Lichen — Soft, luminous, subtly shifting

  • Room‑Darkening Lichen — Richer, more saturated, with a grounded presence

  • Blackout Lichen — Deep, enveloping, and true to its green‑grey character

Color consistency across all opacities allows you to specify Lichen throughout an entire home, adjusting opacity by room function.

UV & Fade Resistance

Complex greens are notoriously prone to fading or shifting toward brown. Lichen fabrics are solution‑dyed with high‑stability pigments and UV stabilizers, achieving Class 5 (excellent) lightfastness. They are warrantied against significant fading for 10 years.

Limited Edition Availability

Because Lichen requires a specialized, multi‑stage dyeing process, it is produced in limited seasonal runs. Once inventory is depleted, the next production cycle may be 6–12 months away. If this color speaks to you, we recommend ordering swatches and finalizing your selection promptly.
