Water Glass

Take the waters of Africa’s most well-known river and mix the palest version of the beautiful translucent colour still known as Eau de Nile (in our terminology). This will work well as the palest, subtlest wall colour or for an off white where a cooling effect is needed – for instance in certain lights or with other hot colours. We are inspired by nature so are always kind to nature in everything we do.

The Edward Bulmer array of paint hues are our recommended foundation to residential and commercial projects providing an unrivalled depth and backdrop to our interiors commissions. Moreover, the natural qualities allow rooms to ‘breathe’, particularly important to those Clients with period properties. Our go-to colours include ‘Water Glass’ for a cool contemporary feel, together with the likes of Creami Colour and Milk White for more of a traditional atmosphere.

So pretty and ethereal

Tracy GoodLife

The dining/music room was painted in Duck Egg and again is east-facing. The colour seems to change throughout the day, becoming a beautiful soft greeny shade in evening light. We wanted a good colour to hang paintings against, and it shows them up very well

Invisble Green is anything but Invisible! It is so full of energy without being tiring. It has an incredible depth to it and turns any room into a jewel that feels alive.

How much paint do I need?

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!
