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 !

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.
We are not able to offer returns, as all of our paint is mixed to order and therefore is a bespoke product.
NB: We will accept returns of non bespoke products which include preparatory products.
If you believe your paint is faulty, please contact our team.

As if you’ve been lifted high up into the clouds. So airy and serene.
My parents’ lounge has just been painted in Brimstone – the colour looks wonderful, and it has made such a difference to the room and to how much we all enjoy being in it! Our decorator had not used Edward Bulmer paint before and was very impressed with its quality.
“You might just have converted me- I have Loathed grey – every developer slaps it on every front door and wall – making it supposedly achingly modern (dull) But with colour it is transformed!!”
Love that blue! Looks great !
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!
