We’ve always believed our colours are too characterful to leave behind, which is why every one finds a permanent home in our Archive. What began as a quiet, behind‑the‑scenes collection has grown into a cherished library of 160 distinctive shades - and today, we’re shining a light on a few of our favorites.

Walls and Paneling: London Stone No.6; Photo: @homeatheathfield
London Stone
A warm mid brown, London Stone was created by John Sutcliffe for a classic Nash house in Regent’s Park. With its underlying magenta tones, this unassuming stone colour is the perfect accent for each of our Red Based Neutrals.

Walls and Ceiling: Faded Terracotta No.CC8; Photo: @pineappleinteriorsldn
Faded Terracotta
The singular colour of terracotta pots and tiles baked to a pale hue by the California sun. An easygoing shade characterized by softness and warmth.

Walls and Paneling: Bone No.15; Photo: @half_a_hall
Bone
A soft grey with a touch of green, this stony neutral is simply named after the colour of bones found in the animal kingdom. Softer than Old White, Bone creates a timeless look suited to halls when combined with Lime White on woodwork.
