Known in house (and palace) painting in the C17th, this colour only requires blue, black and raw umber pigments. It is a rich colour when used on panelling and would have been expensive to achieve. Originally it would have been mixed in ‘oyle paint’ and built up in 3 to 5 layers. Our recipe is very successful in our water based emulsion and eggshells and can utterly transform a panelled room, even today! All our water based paints are virtually odourless and contain no harmful VOC’s, you can sleep in the room the same day as painting it!

When we moved into Hopetoun we were really keen to find colours that worked for our young family and the house. Your colours did this well and the paint was especially suitable as it is so breathable. The decorators loved the paint and said it was the best to apply they had used and no horrid paint smell was a real …

If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!
