Garter Blue

This colour has been archived, please visit the ‘Archived Colours‘ page for more information.

It is possible the name of the colour used on the staircase at Osterley Park in 1787 referred to the colour of the Garter ribbon and allude to aristocratic clients. Whether true or not I have taken a blue verditer hue as my starting point and achieved a tone light enough to give a fresh wall colour that is bouncy enough for a bedroom but subtle enough for all sorts of living rooms – even halls. We make sure our range has the right colour for every space and we are leading the way in producing a truly eco-friendly range and supplying an honest declaration of our ingredients. 

Loved the depth of colour and lumminosity of the paint, easy to apply and great coverage.

Have tried it out on one wall and it is excellent paint.  Goes on easily, dries to a lovely finish and very low odour.  Am very pleased with it and will not go back to Dulux!

The Patent Yellow has worked brilliantly in the nursery and bathroom toning in so perfectly with the Turnell and Gigonwallpaper

When I arrived on site for the first time the whole room had already been painted in Sea Green and the atmosphere in there was quite something. The colour was so soft and gentle yet because it’s a mid-green it was also quite dominant.

Mural Artist Rachel Spelling

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!
