Ochre
In the High-end Paint range, Ochre reads as sunlit pigment, built on the kind of warmth that makes evenings feel right and mustard-gold pigment. Sits naturally next to clay tile, untreated leather and warm earthy textiles. The natural home for Ochre is scullery and pantry walls — and increasingly alcove and chimney-breast features. Mid-depth and confident — neither washed-out nor heavy. Borrows its character from 1970s interiors and re-reads them in a modern context.
