Some greens don’t require any blue or green pigments and this is one of them. This is basically yellow ochre under the influence of black with a touch of chrome yellow. What colours the waters of the Nile these days may not conjure up the romance of the name this colour was given all those years ago when the Nile was in the news as the scene of Nelson’s great victory! This is one of the best colours I have ever mixed for its versatility and timeless elegance. Green is Edward’s favourite colour and we have more green’s than any other colour in our range, which is really quite appropriate for an environmentally friendly paint brand.
Eau de Nile is a best seller and so we now offer this colour in three lighter shades. 60%, 40% and 20% lighter shades, to cover the use of this beautiful colour throughout the home.
I just wanted to let you know that we have had our lounge painted in Eau de Nile and not only does it look stunning but the feedback from the decorator - who hasn't used your paint before - was so good I had to share it. He said it was 'a dream to paint with' and amazing quality (which not all paints within a similar price bracket do, he was at pains to add). I just wish I'd recorded him saying it because he couldn't have been more enthusiastic!

NO picture surfer here! I read every word of your book. Truly a standout among other Brit design books (a tough field). Your personality, judgement and creativity really come through. Thanks.
Lovely depth of colour and consistency of paint, high quality product.
My decorator said it was the best paint he had ever worked with!
I love brick! I love the different tones that show at different times of the day; sometimes more orange, sometimes more pink. A beautiful, warm, modern classic.
I wanted to say thank you so much for your advice – very much appreciated and extremely helpful! I’ve just received the well packaged paint I ordered and have started painting the study in French Grey – it’s the perfect colour and I’ll move on to Cinnamon in the hall and Trumpington in the cloakroom …
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!

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.
Our water based eggshell or gloss is ideal for woodwork or metalwork.
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.
