Known in house (and palace) painting in the C17th, this colour only requires blue, black and raw umber pigments. It is a rich colour when used on panelling and would have been expensive to achieve. Originally it would have been mixed in ‘oyle paint’ and built up in 3 to 5 layers. Our recipe is very successful in our water based emulsion and eggshells and can utterly transform a panelled room, even today! All our water based paints are virtually odourless and contain no harmful VOC’s, you can sleep in the room the same day as painting it!
I'd never heard of you until I read the paint schedule so was a bit weary as we'd had some problems with other paint brands. What a very pleasant surprise once we started using your Cerullian Blue. Beautiful colour and such brilliant quality paint.

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.

I love the colour because it is so warm and charming, winter had our blue bedroom feeling cold and dreary, but the combination of Hespan, Red Ochre and Fine Green has turned the space into a cosy haven! It’s vibrant yet oh-so-snug, and I’m really enjoying spending time in the room again. It’s a statement colour which is still …
I will never use anything except Bulmer paint again, I have to say. Plus I have no idea why the decorator forums made it sound so difficult! If it’s within my capabilities, it’s within anyone’s!
I wanted to say thank you so much for your advice – very much appreciated and extremely helpful! I’ve just received the well packaged paint I ordered and have started painting the study in French Grey – it’s the perfect colour and I’ll move on to Cinnamon in the hall and Trumpington in the cloakroom …
Love this, so very charming, individual and cosy. The paint colour is perfect !
Thank you for sending over your beautiful paint. We have received them this Monday.Painting is now in full progress and we already love the results.Thank you very much for the wonderful service and the fantastic paints.
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!
