‘Sad colours’ were well understood and well used back in the C17th. They were actually rather beautiful nuanced tones of a range of shades; to quieten them down and settle them into interiors created with polished materials and dyed fabrics. It was a sophisticated response to decorating hierarchy and as such is as useful today – but could we call this subtle grey green Sad Stone? Of course not these days, so we have called it Gladstone! Glad to also offer tonal harmony in all our colours, from ultramodern interiors to period properties – we produce natural paint which is breathable and kind to nature.
A big thanks to the team at Edward Bulmer paints for being so nice. Fast becoming the best supplier in the UK. Little Greene and Mylands could learn a lot from this company.

We have spent years perfecting our pioneering plant-based paints and we are proud of the product we have created using gentle chemistry and a lot of dedication to making a more sustainable paint! We believe we are pioneers in creating natural paints using plant-based ingredients instead of petrochemical derived products.
Unlike many other paint brands, what’s in our tins is on our tins! We declare all of our ingredients, read our full list of ingredients and learn more about how our paint is made.
We use our local courier service called APC which is based in Hereford. APC operates franchises throughout the country and we can deliver parcels throughout the UK on an overnight service.
We are not able to offer returns, as all of our paint is mixed to order and therefore is a bespoke product.
NB: We will accept returns of non bespoke products which include preparatory products.

I’ve always had this mantra that you should live and work with what you love so as a designer I felt a real connection with Edward Bulmer’s transformative paints. We both see colour as a vital necessity – the essential raw ingredient. I’d fallen in love with Cuisse de Nymphe Emue – a pink that …
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 …
As if you’ve been lifted high up into the clouds. So airy and serene.
When we moved into our cottage, we wanted to start by decorating our son’s room. The previous owner had painted the room white which felt stark and uninviting. I contacted the team at Edward Bulmer for advice on which colours to choose for this north facing room and they were incredibly helpful, on numerous occasions! …
I think that what I am trying to say about Edward Bulmer colours is that they are quite startling in their complexity – it’s almost as if they are alive.
