Cuisse is the ultimate dusty pink with enough umber to avoid being too girly. Despite the name Cuisse is a firm favourite, feminine enough to peel back the masculine cloak that some houses take on, with a degree of sophistication and historical resonance which means it works in the kitchen as well as the bedroom! We borrowed the colour from the family rooms at Petworth where it had been chosen by Lord Egremont’s mother and it was she that gave it this risqué name which is also a rose in the garden!
Cuisse de Nymphe Emue is also available in three lighter shades, so 60%, 40% and 20% lighter which means you can find a place for Cuisse, the ultimate sustainable paint, anywhere in your house! Our plant-based recipe is centered around protecting the planets’ finite resources.
"Edward Bulmer Natural Paints are a go-to for us in our interiors projects and their likeminded attitude towards creating an environmentally friendly product made the collaboration an obvious fit. Cuisse de Nymphe Emue – there has been a real trend for pink interiors recently and despite there being a lot of pinks available, it is surprisingly difficult to find one which provides that hint of pink but is also manageable. This shade does just this and it is husband friendly!”

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.

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.
Our decorator, who has painted for about 40 years, said it was some of nicest paint he had worked with. He liked the fact it had no smell, but he was particularly pleased by how well it cut in, without leaving any streaks. (a particular problem with the other paint I mentioned, apparently.) He was …
Vert de Mer, if we were really pushed for an answer would be our favourite and is the one which has stopped people in their tracks – we have had so many customers come up and ask us where the paint is from.
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!
