Testing actual paint in situ is an essential part of the colour choosing process. Each of our shades can be bought in a tester pot. Many site-specific factors will affect the way colours appear, so it’s a good idea to test in more than one location, applying two coats 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.
The writer, music critic and BBC broadcaster Edward ‘Eddy’ Sackville-West, a peripheral character in the celebrated Bloomsbury Group of the 1920s, lived in several rooms in the Gatehouse Tower at his family home of Knole in Kent. Eddy’s private domain, accessed via a compact stone spiral staircase, included a bedroom, study and music room, where he would entertain fellow academics, philosophers, friends and lovers. This colour is taken from the fireplace in his bedroom, where it’s offset with a blue surround and charismatic lime-plastered walls.
