Graphenstone Paints collaborates with English Heritage to launch ‘The Colour Collection’

Graphenstone Paints, known for its high-quality and health-conscious ‘purifying paints’, has launched a beautiful new collection of 120 colours called ‘The Colour Collection’, which features 24 exclusive shades developed in a landmark collaboration with English Heritage, the charity that cares for over 400 of England’s most beloved historic sites.

The 24 exclusive colours have been developed by Graphenstone using scanned data from original wallpapers, fabrics, furniture and painted finishes found throughout English Heritage’s portfolio, including Kenwood, Eltham Palace, Marble Hill, Wrest Park, and Chiswick House and Gardens. A proportion of the proceeds from each tin sold will go directly to English Heritage, supporting the charity’s ongoing conservation and restoration efforts and helping to preserve these historic sites for generations to come.

Notable paint shades in the collection include:

Mah-Jongg - A warm grey inspired by the Courtauld family’s pet lemur Mah-Jongg, who lived at Eltham Palace during the 1920’s.

Kenwood Cream – A light, traditional neutral reflecting the Georgian exterior of Kenwood.

Smalt Blue - A deep, royal blue colour inspired by the gates at Chiswick House and by the historic pigment used by artists such as Vermeer and Turner.

Golden Pheasant – A rich, warm yellow referencing the wallpapered bedroom suites at Wrest Park.

Chinoiserie - A beautifully soft, light yellow, a Chinese wallpaper reimagined by de Gournay, which can be seen in Marble Hill’s Dining Parlour

Mansfield's Blue - A sophisticated, green-toned blue matched to Lord Mansfield’s bedchamber at Kenwood

Eldorado - A clean blue which nods to the 19th-century Zuber wallpaper at Wrest Park, inspired by the flora and fauna of Africa, Asia, Europe, and America

Licensing and B2B Manager at English Heritage, Alexandra Bovey, said: “We are delighted to partner with Graphenstone to produce a beautiful colour palette of paints inspired by our properties and collections. We care for hundreds of properties and over a million objects, and Graphenstone has done wonderful work conveying their stories through a highly sustainable, quality range of paints.”

Graphenstone UK CEO and Chairman Patrick Folkes said, " Our paints gently 'nod to the past' by combining trusted minerals like lime and silicate with 21st-century graphene technology, ensuring they are ecological, sustainable, and highly durable. Our clean-tech ranges create safe and healthy environments without compromising performance, making them perfect for the rigours of the hospitality industry. With a proportion of each paint pot sold going to English Heritage, we can all play a small part in preserving these wonderful properties.”

It is one of the world’s most certified and independently tested paint brands, validated by some of the most recognised, robust, and trusted certification programs: Cradle to Cradle Certified™, Global GreenTag Certified™ and Eurofins.
