From frankly unpalatable beginnings Mummy became a recognised term (even mentioned by Shakespeare) for an old brown. As you might guess, it described the appearance of mummified remains and indeed was made from them until the late C19th when it became deeply unfashionable. Now that it would be unthinkable to create a colour in this way I feel at liberty to use it for a colour that is rightly fashionable again! Warm and inviting, perfect for a snug or cosy sitting room. We declare all our ingredients in our natural paint range, including Mummy. We create honestly colourful finishes in Emulsion, Water Based Eggshell and Gloss.
We have just had our kitchen painted with Mummy after it was recommended by one of your staff. I didn't know if it would work with the sage coloured units but it's worked so well. Your staff really know their paint colours! The decorators also said it was beautiful paint to work with, so thank you for your spot on advice.
