Tikkurila’s Colour of the Year 2026, Kameleontti L391, is a captivating blend of green, yellow, and soft grey. It shifts beautifully with the light and surrounding surfaces – at times warm and lively, at others calm and grounded. Kameleontti is much like nature itself: balanced, adaptable, and full of life. Below, discover how Kameleontti harmonises with different Timberwise floor shades, and how each combination creates its own distinctive atmosphere.
Just like genuine wood, Kameleontti has a living quality. Its tone, texture, and feel transform with light and time while remaining authentically natural. When these two materials meet, the result is a series of interiors that can feel calming, inspiring, or boldly expressive. By combining different floor tones, you can shape the exact mood you want – lighter and more natural shades highlight Kameleontti’s freshness, while deeper browns bring elegant depth and contrast to the space.
Light natural shades – Airy and balanced harmony
Kameleontti’s soft green hue comes to life beautifully beside light and natural wood tones. Oak Uncolored and Oak Nordic add brightness and an airy softness that enhances natural light.
A pale floor paired with Kameleontti walls forms a fresh, breathable combination. Oak Uncolored represents wood in its purest form – its light, honey-toned base creates a gentle contrast to Kameleontti’s green, resulting in a calm and harmonious feel.
Oak Select Nordic takes the atmosphere a step lighter. Its subtle white tint opens up the space and introduces a touch of Scandinavian clarity. Alongside it, Kameleontti deepens in tone, adding refined contrast without harshness. To complete the interior, incorporate natural materials such as linen, clay, and light wood. They bring texture and rhythm to the space, while matte finishes and touches of greenery add a sense of life – keeping the look bright, soft, and balanced.
Warm brown tones – Contrast and timelessness
Kameleontti finds perfect balance alongside warm wood tones. Oak Cognac, one of Timberwise’s classic finishes, adds inviting warmth and subtle elegance. Its brown and reddish hues complement Kameleontti’s earthy green, creating a natural and harmonious whole. This pairing works particularly well in spaces where you want to create a cosy, warm atmosphere without heaviness.
Oak Antique brings a touch of aged sophistication with its deep, slightly cooler brown tone. A darker floor adds structure and grounds Kameleontti’s green, highlighting its character and depth. This combination is ideal for living rooms, home offices, or spaces that call for a tranquil yet confident presence. The relationship between dark wood and Kameleontti is rich and nuanced – even the smallest details make a difference. Soft, warm lighting and natural materials such as linen, ceramics, and brass tie the tones together, adding layers of warmth and sophistication. The result is a harmonious interior that feels both timeless and contemporary.
Kameleontti – A Shade that lives with light
Kameleontti L391 is more than a colour – it adapts to light and its surroundings, bringing a sense of balance and quiet depth to any space.
Timberwise hardwood floors complement this idea through their own character. Uncolored, Nordic, Cognac, and Antique each highlight a different facet of Kameleontti, from the freshness of light tones to the warmth and richness of darker hues. By combining these shades, it’s possible to create interiors that feel serene, inspiring, and timeless – spaces where the balance of nature and Timberwise craftsmanship truly come to life.
