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 netural, with depth, for use throughout the house from hallway to bathroom to complement our stronger colours – a truly sustainable colour.
Our low VOC Dove emulsion is now available in three lighter shades, so 60%, 40% and 20% lighter than the original natural colour. Beautiful, breathable natural paint.
Still much to do on the house. It is happening very 'organically' shall we say. But it looks fab in its progression and we're very happy. The paint never goes unnoticed!

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.
