You could summarise the great John Fowler’s paint schemes as variations on coral pink, lime green and three shades of white. I have most admired the coral pink and here is my homage to him. Fowler’s genius was to recognise that the quality of the paint was paramount and he achieved his shades with coloured oil or watercolour glazes usually over a white base. This is an old technique, seldom practiced now, as we are happy with matt emulsion. Our natural emulsion does, however, have the character of the oil bound distempers he used for basing out and this colour is an affectionate nod to his approach to decorating when few value historical decorating at all. Dutch Orange is colourfully honest, we declare all the ingredients in our natural paints.
Excellent customer service! Emma was so incredibly helpful with her colour consultancy advice and always very quick at getting back to all my queries. I love the finished result from using Lilac Pink on the walls and Spanish White on the ceiling. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

I just love the colours and it has really helped to see them in the flesh
So pretty and ethereal
“Make sure they’re eye level. And also don’t be afraid about it! You don’t want your pictures sitting on your floor for ages never hanging them. It’s much better that they’re up, even if they’re not up in completely the right way.”
The ‘Brick’ is so correct and elegant with that art…per usual the clarity of your natural paints colours showcase both fine and decorative arts to advantage
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 …
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!
