A high-class historical name for a deep and meaningful colour which is basically a purple brown dark iron oxide pigment. We come by our colour with a range of earth and mineral pigments to arrive at a rich reddy tone that turns walls into a serious exercise in colour. This tone is surprisingly accommodating however and will give you a dramatic backdrop for the display of artwork. Like our historical Pompadour colour, all our natural paints are perfect for period properties and we can assure you the walls can maintain their breathability for the next 200 years.
Love this, so very charming, individual and cosy. The paint colour is perfect !

Each colour feels so carefully considered and they have a beautiful finish on the wall. We love to use colours that are less ’true’ as they work so well throughout the year, changing in tone with the seasons. It was this that drew us to Drab green.
I have always wanted to create a house with dark walls. You have to get the balance right though – go for striking, not gloomy. Tingry is the perfect choice.
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.
