Mid Stone

A working pale — the colour a room defaults to when you leave it alone. Mid Stone sits in our High-end Paint range with true-neutral undertones that don't fight other materials, undertones of true grey, and a character that's steady and architectural. Most Mid Stone installs end up on hallways and entry sequences or split-level stair walls. It complements honed limestone, raw concrete, wire-brushed oak and matt-black ironmongery. The lineage is post-war modernist, but the way it sits on a wall is unmistakably current.
