A bathroom at the home of Edward Bulmer, painted in 'Light Olive Green' Autumn is a season of unparalleled natural beauty, as the leaves turn blazing red and golden colours begin to dominate the landscape. Nature’s periodic transition from the vivid colours of summer to the earthy tones of autumn inspires us in countless ways. Embracing the earthy autumn palette in your house is one of the most delightful ways to bring the essence of autumn indoors. We will explore the warm and inviting world of autumnal colours via the artistic lens 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.

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.
