Bone
A barely-there pale that holds its character even on a north wall. Within the High-end Paint range, Bone carries carrying a gentle yellow-honey lift and ivory-stone undertones — warm-pale and lived-in in overall character. We see Bone specified most often for open-plan reception areas and long corridors and landings. Pairs naturally with rattan, jute, warm timbers and bouclé. Owes a small debt to Regency, but doesn't ask the rest of the room to follow.

Questions clients ask about this shade
Does Bone hold up in north-facing rooms?+
Yes — Bone carries enough warm pigment that it doesn't go flat or grey in cool daylight. The ivory-stone undertone is what stops it bleaching out.
What sheen options come in Bone?+
Bone is tinted into your choice of dead-matt, soft eggshell or low-sheen satin. For rooms with high handling — hallways, kitchens — we'd usually recommend eggshell.
What does Bone pair with from your range?+
We most often pair Bone with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, pairs naturally with rattan, jute, warm timbers and bouclé.
