Header is a wonderful warm terracotta tone. This colour works well in any room, from hallways to country kitchens and bedroom. It will flatter architectural features and antiques as well as warm up smaller cosy spaces.
We have a very popular colour called Brick, but in some rooms and in some aspects it’s a little too strong and so Edward created a colour that really has half the strength of Brick with a little bit more yellow ochre, just to give it a slightly orangey hue. The provenance of its name? Well as a brick can be used in two ways, length ways or end on, known as stretcher or header, the half a brick or the head is the name that we have given to this colour.

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!
