The red and yellow pigmentation of this colour is from where it gets its name (before the Civil War apparently) as it comes from the Latin adjective luteus. I love its robust character, it will instantly proclaim a Georgian residence of the middling sort and it is a real friend to an interior with good architectural bones.
We offer Lute in three lighter shades. 60%, 40% and 20% lighter shades, we make historical paints for period properties so the walls can maintain their breathability for the next 200 years.
First, I wanted to say how well all your recommendations are looking so far and that the decorator loves the paints. Apparently they’re a joy to use and even his wife notices how much nicer he smells using them!

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.

I love the colour because it is so warm and charming, winter had our blue bedroom feeling cold and dreary, but the combination of Hespan, Red Ochre and Fine Green has turned the space into a cosy haven! It’s vibrant yet oh-so-snug, and I’m really enjoying spending time in the room again. It’s a statement colour which is still …

Secondly, the paint’s true ‘green’ credentials were important and led onto the third benefit that painters like working with it. …
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!
