Yellows have an inherent brightness, freshness and warmth that makes them an ever-popular colour all around the home.

The 'Colours of England' palette includes varying hues of this vibrant shade to provide brightness in both classic and contemporary schemes.

Featured: Mortlake Yellow, Sage Green

'Mortlake Yellow' is a warm golden yellow which was used generously in the 17th century weaves of the Mortlake Tapestry Works, where under Charles I, a new generation of English craftsmen produced the finest tapestries in Europe.

Pair with the soothing, natural 'Sage Green' for a scheme inspired by nature.

Featured: Grey Stone, Sunlight

Sunlight provides a true reduction of ochre and titanium brightened with a dash of organic yellow, Combine 'Sunlight' with 'Woad' for the perfect backdrop to yellow trim and skirting.

Featured: Light Gold, Urbane Grey

'Light Gold' is a delightful warm colour originally conceived from chrome yellow, white and a dash of vermilion. Paint a full wall in 'Light Gold' for a beautiful, bold impact.

Featured: Trumpet, Cape Red

'Trumpet' is an accent colour, derived from the development of strong coloured plastics. Popular when used sparingly in more neutral environments and sometimes used as a joinery colour for flush door faces and architraves, particularly towards the end of the decade and into the early 1980s.

Use 'Trumpet' alongside 'Cape Red' for a powerful, dramatic finish. Colours can work well together when many of them have a similar power. This is an unusual approach and we often shy away from colours of similar strength as they may fight with one another for applause.
