It creates a really cosy and surprisingly un-yellow space when contrasted with dark tones such as Tanner's Brown or Railings.

More about Project Waterfall

Project Waterfall is a charity initiative established by The Allegra Foundation to bring clean, safe drinking water, sanitation and education to coffee growing communities. Since 2011, the initiative has raised over £800,000 and bought clean drinking water to over 27,000 people across 7 countries.

This year, UK Coffee Week fundraising will directly support the first year of a four-year project in the Jebi Tehnan Woreda of Amhara, Ethiopia. This project will change the lives of over 7,000 people through clean water and sanitation facilities and hygiene programmes.

The Jebi Tehnan Woreda is in an agricultural region of Ethiopia, where 38% of the population rely on coffee for their livelihood. Rural regions are the most affected by water sourcing issues, and this project aims to mitigate the problems caused by lack of clean water facilities.

Our Lifestore café is open daily from 7.30am this week, so come join us in the celebration!

This soft and classic tone is perfectly suited to children’s bedrooms, especially when contrasted with Stiffkey Blue on furniture or woodwork.

COLOUR SCHEMES

The pale nature of Borrowed Light allows for it to be a light accent to darker blue shades, such as Stiffkey Blue and Hague Blue.
