Testing actual paint in situ is an essential part of the colour choosing process. Each of our shades can be bought in a tester pot. Many site-specific factors will affect the way colours appear, so it’s a good idea to test in more than one location, applying two coats over as large an area as you can.
Observe the colours in daylight and artificial light; the difference can be quite significant. Avoid positioning small swatches of several colour immediately next to one another – each will affect the way the others are read. Also, try to avoid comparing the swatch to bright white – this can be equally misleading.
The most notable resident of Snowshill Manor in Gloucestershire was Mr Charles Paget Wade, an architect, artist, poet and collector. Aged just seven, he began accumulating artefacts that reflected his interest in design, craftsmanship and colour. By the time he gave his home to the National Trust, his collection totalled 22,000 items, with Mr Wade living in a small garden cottage as a result. A rather mischievous character, he was renowned for playing tricks on guests and was described by neighbour Mrs Graham Greene as ‘half a goblin’; she ‘didn’t like the way he would laugh to himself’ in her presence.
