Taken from the pantry door at Wimpole Hall, this shade is typical of the drab colours used to paint ‘back-of-house’ areas, where waiting staff would prepare meals and refreshments for the owners of such grand country mansions. These colours were popular because they didn’t show dirt or damage easily, and were thriftily produced by blending leftover paints and pigments from the decoration of the main house.

Many site-specific factors will affect the way colours appear, so it’s a good idea to test colour in more than one location, applying over as large an area as you can.
Observe the colours in daylight and artificial light; the difference can be quite significant. Avoid positioning small swatches of several colour immediately next to one another – each will affect the way the others are read. Also, try to avoid comparing the swatch to bright white – this can be equally misleading.
