Hawtrey was the family name of the builders of Chequers, the Prime Minister’s country house. It is fitted out with oak and holly panelling that gives the rooms a tobacco warmth. This shade was mixed to complement the woodwork and is heavily dependent on earth pigments, so it is warmly muddy and very comforting.
It is a good complementary shade as it will flatter all other colours and provide a really accommodating background to fabrics, furniture and artworks.
