Perhaps not the bluest white that milk can sometimes be, but this shade has a lovely warm ‘maternal’ feel so hence the name! This colour is perfect for a modern, fresh kitchen space or hidden hallway. Our paints are kind to nature and kind to all properties, they do not cost the earth and they allow the walls to breathe.
Milk White is available in lighter shades, 60%, 40% and 20% lighter shades of the original colour.
Recently I bought a house for the first time and wanted to re decorate before I moved in. My priority was to find non toxic paints, and also to find colours that I felt happy with. At first I was not sure I would find both. After much research I chose Edward Bulmer paints. They are both completely and transparently non toxic, and beautiful pigments. I chose milk white and they are the most happy peaceful beautiful tones. I absolutely love the results in my house, and the paints look and feel amazing. Also the whole team at the Chelsea Edward Bulmer store were soo helpful, patient, and helped guide me with colours, and every order came promptly. I would only use Edward Bulmer paints in the future. I cannot recommend them more highly!

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.

It sounds silly, but it’s difficult to find a great white, just because the choice is endless, but for us Silver White, with its touch of grey is extremely versatile.
I will never use anything except Bulmer paint again, I have to say. Plus I have no idea why the decorator forums made it sound so difficult! If it’s within my capabilities, it’s within anyone’s!

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 …
A belated thank you for assisting me in choosing a colour for my drawing room. I am delighted with the colour (Jonquil 60%) and of course the paint itself which is so workable and a pleasure to use. The depth of the colour is glorious and my room comes across as so restful. What paint …
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!
