Earth pigments mixed with white were used to make Quaker tints in the early 19th century. Basically they were coloured off-whites. I have made 50/50 raw umber and yellow ochre shade with a hint of chrome yellow to give it a sunny disposition. A great hall colour and can be used on woodwork to compliment strong colours. Equally at home on wood or plaster. With all our finishes, we are leading the way in producing a truly earth-friendly paint range and supplying an honest declaration of our ingredients.
A huge thank you to you all for all your help recently. Having decided on the actual colours on Friday, you getting it ready for me within an hour, both my rooms have now been decorated and look absolutely amazing!

Just wanted to say how delighted we are with the result with the Tea Green paint. We got back from a few days away to find our decorator had done a brilliant job and it is a perfect green for our timber-framed house! We would certainly use your paint again. It really has a lovely …
Vert de Mer, if we were really pushed for an answer would be our favourite and is the one which has stopped people in their tracks – we have had so many customers come up and ask us where the paint is from.
Love this, so very charming, individual and cosy. The paint colour is perfect !
Each colour feels so carefully considered and they have a beautiful finish on the wall. We love to use colours that are less ’true’ as they work so well throughout the year, changing in tone with the seasons. It was this that drew us to Drab green.

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!
