Old recipes for Dove Colour have not survived though it was also a name used to describe a marble that we now call Bardiglio which was much used and simulated (in paint) in the fashionable interiors of the early C19th. We have lightened our tone to give it greater usability, both as a trim and a wall colour. Dove is a good grounded background, making it a very versatile neutral, with depth, for use throughout the house from hallway to bathroom to complement our stronger colours – a truly sustainable colour.
