The first paint makers to register this colour did so in 1764 but the recipe has wandered about all over the place since then! It gives a dramatic look when used today as a wall colour. Our use of Prussian Blue, Chrome Yellow and earth pigments lends it tonal complexity and welcome warmth. Its origins were in Brunswick where our base paint is now made. We work with a pioneering team of gentle chemists to create paint which does not cost the earth, is eco-friendly and kind to your health.
I just thought I should tell you that the builders love your paint. The big chief says he will definitely use it again!!

When we moved into our cottage, we wanted to start by decorating our son’s room. The previous owner had painted the room white which felt stark and uninviting. I contacted the team at Edward Bulmer for advice on which colours to choose for this north facing room and they were incredibly helpful, on numerous occasions! …
Thanks again for all your help – we are delighted with the Edward Bulmer paints. We have painted two rooms with 18th century panelling, which we were nervous about, and both the advice we received and your paint has been brilliant.
When we moved into Hopetoun we were really keen to find colours that worked for our young family and the house. Your colours did this well and the paint was especially suitable as it is so breathable. The decorators loved the paint and said it was the best to apply they had used and no horrid paint smell was a real …
A big thanks to the team at Edward Bulmer paints for being so nice. Fast becoming the best supplier in the UK. Little Greene and Mylands could learn a lot from this company.

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.
