The name is literally descriptive of the colour of the oxidised surface of copper and bronze. A beautiful Prussian blue based green with an underlying earthy tone but a wonderful radiance. It was an expensive and sought after colour in the early C19th and recurs in many colourman’s catalogues. When creating colours we are inspired by these natural weathering processes, but also inspired by the richness and uniqueness of natural and plant-based ingredients – we will never use anything else!
We wanted a paint that was multi-facetted and felt unusual without being shouty; something mercurial and complex to suit the character of the building and the people who pass through the doors - Verdigris is complicated in the best possible way: green / blue / light / dark / cold / warm - difficult to pin down and therefore never boring.

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 are not able to offer returns, as all of our paint is mixed to order and therefore is a bespoke product.
NB: We will accept returns of non bespoke products which include preparatory products.

I just wanted to say what a pleasure it is using your material, especially the eggshell which is a lovely paint to work with.

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!
