Base preparation in the past was often done with a simple chalk and animal glue mix known as whiting. This is the name we have adopted for this shade that reflects the slightly beige appearance of size. We still use chalk in our modern recipes however we are 100% vegan so we don’t use animal derived or tested products. It is a really useful off-white shade for lighter palette schemes and also compliments the deeper off‐whites really well.

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!
