Colours For Autumn, Naturally.

Autumn brings a unique and breath taking transformation, as vibrant reds and golden hues sweep across the landscape. This seasonal shift, from summer to fall, offers endless inspiration. One of the most charming ways to capture that essence at home is by embracing autumn’s earthy palette in your interior design. In this piece, we’ll explore the rich, welcoming world of autumnal colour through the artistic vision of Edward Bulmer Natural Paint.

Rooted in Nature

The essence of an earthy autumnal palette is deeply rooted into the colours of nature. Edward Bulmer Natural Paint understands this connection and has curated a selection of colours that beautifully encapsulate these earthy elements. ‘Royal Grass Green’ is a vivid and deep shade with a leaf-like luxuriance. Despite its name, ‘Drab Green’ is anything but drab: a muddy green that has an exquisite softness for your autumn palette, captures the essence of autumnal foliage while maintaining a sense of calm to create a cosy and tranquil atmosphere.

Timeless Browns

Browns are classic autumnal tones that never go out of style. From the softest of browns, ‘Cinnamon,’ which combines smoothly with various pinks, beiges, and browns, to the muddy sandy brown ‘Hawtrey,’ which was created to complement woodwork, Edward Bulmer offers a wide selection of browns.

Earthy Terracotta Tones

The ox blood red of ‘Sang de Boeuf’ is a classic colour when it comes to autumnal colour palettes. It’s a warm and inviting hue that embodies the rustic charm of autumn, offering a sense of serenity while simultaneously making a bold statement.

The Golden Charm of Trumpington

Autumn is a time when we seek warmth and comfort in our homes, and the right colour palette can help in creating a warm and inviting environment. As the days become shorter, ‘Trumpington’ is the perfect earthy tone for this. This warm and inviting earthy tobacco yellow represents the rustic beauty of autumn.

Warmth in Neutrals

While bold earthy colours might be the focal point of your autumn palette, don’t overlook the neutrals. The shade ‘Fawn’ is a soft underbelly beige with a warm stone hue that can be utilised in both rooms and hallways to create a feeling of grounding to the interior of your home.

How much paint do I need?

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!
