An eruption of colour – literally as this name came about through a belief that it originated in the volcanic area around Naples! It is a strong colour for those brave enough to couple it with other gutsy colour tones and individually designed pieces. It will wake up the senses and lift the spirits, appealing to the architect designer as well as the confident home owner.
I knew I wanted to paint the ceiling yellow the minute I saw this room, and specifically this colour, Naples Yellow. it is the most hopeful and happiest colour, and makes me think of Positano beach umbrellas - particularly as I can see the sea from the window. It’s my bedroom ceiling, so it's a very uplifting start to the day. I often write lying in bed, so this room really needed to be somewhere I was going to enjoy spending a lot of time, and I do - and a lot of that is due the ceiling (and the matching curtains!)

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 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.
