Home » Natural Paint Colour Disclaimer

Colour Disclaimer

While we take great care to represent our colours as accurately as possible, digital images and on-screen swatches can never fully capture the true character of paint. Colours may appear differently depending on screen type, brightness, resolution and lighting conditions, and screens are backlit in a way that painted surfaces are not.

For this reason, colours viewed online should always be considered a guide only. We strongly recommend using our hand-painted colour charts, A5 colour cards or sample pots before making a final decision. These are created using our natural paint recipes and provide the most reliable indication of colour, depth and finish.

Using Sample Pots

Our natural paint sample pots are available in all colours across the Edward Bulmer Natural Paint range and are mixed with the same care and ingredients as our full-size paints.

We recommend painting out your chosen colour onto a piece of paper, card or board and viewing it in situ at different times of day and under different lighting conditions. This allows you to see how the colour responds to both natural and artificial light, and how it sits alongside your fabrics, furnishings and architectural details.

As with all natural paints, slight colour variations can occur. Colour appearance will also be influenced by surface texture, preparation and application method.

Samples Disclaimer

Our sample pots are made with natural ingredients and limited preservatives. For best results, we recommend using them within three months of delivery. Once opened, exposure to air may affect the paint over time, and we cannot accept responsibility for changes in consistency or performance after this period.

Colour samples are provided in good faith as a guide only. As site conditions, application methods and lighting are beyond our control, we are unable to guarantee final colour results. This does not affect your statutory rights.

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!

What are you painting?

Estimated
Painted Wall/Ceiling Area

Our natural matt emulsion is perfect for interior walls and ceilings.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on the dimensions of your room, minus the space taken by average doors and windows.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.

Estimated
Woodwork Area

Our water based eggshell or gloss is ideal for woodwork or metalwork.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on skirting and the doors/windows you tell us about. 1 litre should cover 2-3 doors or 20m of skirting.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.
