Take inspiration from our colour of the week, Farrow & Ball's No. 275, Purbeck Stone.

Purbeck Stone which resembles the colour of the stone in the Isle of Purbeck, is the strongest of our Easy Neutrals with which it is the perfect counterbalance. Less cool and softer than Manor House Gray, it is the perfect tone for well lit modern rooms but can also be used as a darker accent for Skimming Stone instead of Elephant's Breath which some find too warm.

TIP: pair Purbeck Stone with Strong White and Wevet for a soft, neutral look. For something a little bolder, pair with Mole's Breath and Stiffkey Blue.

Take inspiration from our colour of the week, Farrow & Ball's No. 27, Parma Gray.

Parma Gray, despite its name, reads as a cool blue and has been used in numerous costume dramas, contrasted with Wimborne White to create the perfect period feel. Its cool nature can make it feel quite formal, especially when contrasted with a bright white but it is still a firm favourite for those who prefer cleaner crisper rooms.

TIP: Pair Parma Gray with Lulworth Blue and Stiffkey Blue to keep the palette blue. Pair with Borrowed Light a Skylight to add a hint of grey.

Take inspiration from our Farrow & Ball colour of the week, No. 276, Mole's Breath.

Mole's Breath is the most versatile of the Farrow & Ball stronger accents, as it can be used both with the Easy Greys like Purbeck Stone, and the Contemporary Neutrals like Elephant's Breath. It is particularly effective to ground kitchen islands. When used on walls, especially in small rooms, it creates a fabulously moody but soft room so is a great alternative to the colder bluer Down Pipe.

TIP: pair Mole's Breath with Wevet and Strong White, for a softer feel. If you're looking for a scheme that's a little darker & bolder, pair Mole's Breath with Purbeck Stone and Railings.

Mole's Breath is a popular colour for kitchen and bathroom accents.

Calamine is indeed named after the lotion we all used as children to sooth nettle stings and rashes! Its seemingly almost blue undertone prevents it from being too sugary and pink. In smaller rooms it becomes intense and demanding but in larger well lit rooms it feels much more delicate.

Calamine would make the perfect colour for a little one's bedroom, or on wooden furniture, contrased against an All White background.

Why not opt to do something a little different, and adorn your bathroom in Calamine, combined with a pink throw and towels, for a rustic, farmhouse charm look.Using Calamine for your front door would also make a perfect, delicate and feminine finish.

TIP: For a bold look, pair Calamine with Brinjal and London Clay. If you want to opt for something a little more neutral, why not pair with Nancy's Blushes and Wevet.

Take inspiration from our colour of the week, Farrow & Ball's No. 229 - Elephant's Breath.

Elephant's Breath with its hint of magenta will read as a warm contemporary grey but can become almost lilac in west facing rooms. To make it less lilac it is best not used with All White, but with the softer Strong White. For fashionable interiors, offset it with Charleston Gray and London Clay as slightly more intense accents.

TIP: pair Elephant's Breath with Mahogany & Pelt for a bold, but warm look. For something a little softer, pair with Skimming Stone & Dove Tale.

Lastly, we love Elephant's Breath for use on upcycled furniture - ideal for adding a soft, neutral touch to the room.

Take inspiration from our colour of the week, Farrow & Ball's No. 89, Lulworth Blue.

Lulworth Blue has an unsurpassed freshness, typical of a formal mid-tone Regency blue and so happily sits alongside similarly clean Arsenic or Citron. However, despite its brightness it can promote deep and peaceful sleep when used in low lit rooms, especially when used on both walls and woodwork, making it perfect for a nursery, or little one's bedroom.

Why not opt for Lulworth Blue on your bedroom's woodwork for a subtle touch.

TIP: pair Lulworth Blue with Hague Blue and Off-Black for a deep, bold look. If you want to keep the palette a little softer, opt for Parma Gray and Skylight.

This colour was found in an 18th century Georgian Hamstone farmhouse in Yeabridge, Somerset, when the original gun cupboard was removed. Although untouched for many years, it was still astonishingly reminiscent of the lush grass that surrounds the house. This uncomplicated, fresh ‘avocado’ green works in contemporary settings as well as period properties.

TIP: pair Yeabridge Green with Off-White and Cooking Apple Green for a neutral look. To create a bolder look, pair with Hague Blue and Incarnadine.

We love how Yeabridge Green makes a front door really pop with colour, especially when contrasted against a white, or other neutral.
