80 years of color, craft and pioneering spirit.
Every shade and pattern tells a story. For 80 years, we’ve combined the finest ingredients with exceptional craft to create paint with unmistakable character—which extends across both our paint and wallpaper collections today.
Handcrafted from table to tin
Our heritage-rich paint still begins with small-batch blends created at an artisan’s table. Every stage is human‑led, from our hand-drawn wallpaper patterns and stripes hand‑cut with a scalpel into printing blocks through to multiple visual checks on the paint and wallpaper production lines.
Unmatchable by design
With instantly visible depth of color and uncompromised quality, our often-emulated shades are created for exceptional durability and finish. Our founders set out to create the highest-quality paint, and we’ve spent the last 80 years refining our formulations. We’ve deepened pigments, perfected finishes and blended art with chemistry to craft color that’s both beautiful and built to perform.
Beautiful color, designed to last
Formulated for strength and resilience, our high performing finishes are designed for daily life. All our formulations are developed through rigorous testing to ensure rich coverage, smooth application and a finish that stands up to repeated cleaning.
Color perfected by expertise
For generations, we’ve shaped colour by hand and by heart, blending artisan instinct with laboratory precision. Each shade is expertly refined for modern life. We study samples at dawn and at dusk, adjusting and fine-tuning until the color sings. Even in production, skilled makers guide the machines with practised precision, a human hand ensuring every batch is right. Shaped by people, honed by expertise, each shade is only released when it lives beautifully in every light.
Made with heart, mindful of tomorrow
Responsibility shapes the way we craft our paint and paper. The same care that goes into developing our colors defines how we choose our raw materials and guides our production processes.
