A true earthy red is often best if just made from a true red earth. In the past it often was, as well as being created from heating yellow ochre to turn it red. Our red ochre is a deep, rich hue that would be recognised by an 18th century painter but is still the best way to get a red that does not dominate a room and is a great backdrop for the display of all sorts of art and objects. True to our natural pigments, we are true in transparency, our manufacturing process is carbon neutral and no toxic waste is produced.

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.
