Many old colour names refer to natural raw materials and these materials varied from place to place, as did local colour perception. Ours in Herefordshire is a grey/yellow clay which makes a very adaptable shade and is a great hall colour but also sophisticated enough for a contemporary living room. We use only natural pigments from earth and mineral origin to make our natural paint which is as precious to us as the earth from whence they came. Truly sustainable paint which is people and planet friendly.
The hugely versatile Clay is available in lighter shades, so 60%, 40% and 20% lighter which means you can use variations of the same colour to great effect.

For this reason we chose Ochre for the main room, which is our sitting room. It faces east, so on a good day the sun comes streaming through the windows in …
The first colour I knew I wanted to use was ‘Invisible Green’ by Edward Bulmer in the drawing room. I realised that I’ve never met a bright green room I don’t love, yet I rarely use the colour. This is the green of Babar’s coat – a shade that goes with so much, as it …

We have created this calculator to help you estimate the amount of paint you will need for your project. Please note that this is only an estimate, based on normal surfaces with two coats of paint.
Please check our practical painting advice - if you are painting onto a very absorbent surface, you may need more paint, and for best results, you may need to prime your surfaces.
If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!
