Relying mainly on yellow ochre this colour has all the character of the invaluable earth pigment. Just by adding white and a touch of chrome yellow to give it zing it makes a beautiful wall paint. Like all our colours, Ochre is made with gentle, plant-based chemistry which does not cost the earth – use our earth-friendly paints for a greener future.
As background, the house is a fairly undistinguished 1960s house, so it lacks interesting features, but it has large windows and it’s very light. For this reason we chose Ochre for the main room, which is our sitting room. It faces east, so on a good day the sun comes streaming through the windows in the morning, and I wanted something yellow to enhance the sunlight. The photos show it in the morning light, but it is equally lovely in lamplight in the evening.

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.

Our decorator, who has painted for about 40 years, said it was some of nicest paint he had worked with. He liked the fact it had no smell, but he was particularly pleased by how well it cut in, without leaving any streaks. (a particular problem with the other paint I mentioned, apparently.) He was …
