Ochre & Slate

Contrast 4.5:1

Paint makers, Cornwall, since 1974

Every colour we mix
behaves differently

Twenty-two pigments, ground in small batches. The deck below moves through five of them, and the page moves with it.

Finishes

Four sheens,
one pigment load

Flat 2%

Swallows light completely. For ceilings and anything you would rather not notice.

Chalk 7%

The house standard. Holds its colour under lamps as well as under daylight.

Eggshell 20%

Wipeable, warm in the hand. Kitchens, hallways, doors that get used.
