In the past whites derived from the minerals like Lime or Chalk used in their production. Adding oils to bind them to make more durable paint altered their brightness and generally warmed them to the eye. This is what we are used to these days though modern ‘bleached’ paints have lightened our palette. Through our plant-based chemistry this white offers a bit of both – brightness but still a ‘fair’ amount of pigment to settle it down to a very slightly warm grey tone.
Getting the canvas of your room right is a challenge for any interior designer, so I was delighted when I discovered the Edward Bulmer paint range. The natural pigments that they use in their paints really do bring your interior to life and give their palettes a versatility and depth that I have failed to find elsewhere.

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!
