Smoke was commonly used to create black pigments in the very earliest days of paint making. Burning something and collecting the carbon deposit enabled the making of a range of blacks and the process often begot the name; Lamp Black, Pitch Black, Black Smoke. Our colour is as simple as it sounds – a pale grey based on carbon black with white and our usual touch of earth pigment to soften it to the eye. However these is no burning in our process ! We use natural, plant-based ingredients and make sure we have no fossil fuel derived additives.

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.
Fiona was an absolute gem. Her knowledge of colours and how they work in a room was astounding and beyond helpful. We love the selection she’s made and are really looking forward to the paint cards, as well as starting the paint job soon.
I highly recommend this paint, literally liquid gold! It’s been a privilege to use this natural paint; breathable, amazing coverage and environmentally friendly
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 …
When I arrived on site for the first time the whole room had already been painted in Sea Green and the atmosphere in there was quite something. The colour was so soft and gentle yet because it’s a mid-green it was also quite dominant.
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!

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.
Our water based eggshell or gloss is ideal for woodwork or metalwork.
This estimate is based on skirting and the doors/windows you tell us about. 1 litre should cover 2-3 doors or 20m of skirting.
