The classic recipe for this colour usually used red and blue pigment. This makes a slightly colder tone than ours which we have deliberately warmed up by using red earth and black mixed with lemon yellow to give the blueness, our plant-based recipe is centred around protecting the planets’ finite resources. It makes for a really beautiful neutral which is completely timeless and equally at home on walls or woodwork.
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 (couldn’t resist!). I think the dining room will be Clove…

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.

Having spent weeks at my place of work with the decorators in and the awful, sickly smell of paint surrounding us I am now at home decorating using your paints. No odour, lovely colour and a beautiful finish. There is no comparison.
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.

It was always a much loved home and although we have redecorated it from top to bottom the subtle colours give it a timeless air and have united new rooms that we have added with the old Jacobean features of …
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!
