This colour can be seen as the tint beloved of the Adam brothers and ubiquitous in the fashionable interiors they created in the last quarter of the 18th century. I have avoided this shade becoming too fragrant by using red oxide instead of carmine (in the past the organic pigments used to make lakes did not have the opacity of earth pigments and so would have seemed softer to the eye than the modern equivalent). Edward Bulmer Natural Paints are made from natural raw materials, one ingredient being red oxide in Laylock – this new generation of natural paints are good for all types of buildings, especially period properties as they allow the walls breathe.
Gosh, that's beautiful! I have always loved Laylock

Arguably the best pink out there!
My decorator has just finished the library in Buff with Spanish White and Whiting, as you suggested, and it is totally transformed
Thank you for your wonderful paint. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am. Your Rose Tinted White is the most beguiling of colours – in fact I’d say it’s more of a mood than a colour! It’s warm soft,feminine without being sugary and the paint has a wonderful earthy, breathing quality which is magical.
Fabulous Breathable paint. I used 2 pallet loads of their basic white for a 7 bedroom Georgian farmhouse renovation. Lovely to work with and excellent coverage. I have also used some of the beautiful colours as I need breathability with the lime plaster. Cannot fault it, totally recommend!
The quality of Edward Bulmer Natural Paints are second to none. The density of pigments in the colour is fantastic.

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.

If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!
