To Create my signs, I use the gorgeously chalky Farrow and Ball range of paints.
Below are the colours I currently use with Farrow and Balls' own descriptions to give you more detail about each shade.
I'm always adding to my paint collection, so if you want a colour you don't see below please get in touch.
Wevet
A delicately, 'barely there' white, which shares it's name with the old Dorset term for a spiders web. Clean and understated with a slight hint of grey.
Mizzle
Named after West Country evening skies, when there's both a mix of mist and drizzle. The green pigment diminishes any cool tones, creating a soft, grey green colour.
Lamp Room Grey
A colour originally created when a white room had been stained by the trimming of lamp wicks. A soft mid grey.
Calamine
A delicate pink named after the lotion we remember from our childhood to soothe stings and rashes. A light touch of grey keeps the subtle pink tone fresh.
Lichen
This calm green is named after algae which creeps over and naturally ages stones. With underlying blue tones, it has a quiet subtle feel.
Inchrya Blue
A shade named after the dramatic Scottish skies surrounding the Georgian Inchrya House. A moody hue, it's a mixture of grey, b;lue and green tones.
Potted Shrimp
A colour from the Farrow and Ball archive collection. It's a classic blush pink with a slight hint of yellow for warmth.
Sulking Room Pink
A muted, romantic rose with warm tones. A colour often associated with boudoirs, which is a room named after the French 'bouder' which means 'to sulk'.
Blue Grey
A cool, blue grey with a subtle mix of blue, green and black pigments.
Downpipe
Originally inspired by the colour used to paint downpipes and guttering. It's blue undertones deepen the complexity of the finish.
Light Blue
A calming, silvery blue which was originally the lightest shade of blue that Farrow and Ball made.
Skylight
A pale, blue grey that takes it's name from the soft, natural light that pours through ceiling skylights.
Sudbury Yellow
This soft, yellow takes it's name from the staircase at Sudbury Hall. It's very responsive to changes in the light and will appear cleaner in light, open spaces and will soften in duller light.
