COLOUR COLLECTION No.4
Celebrating THIRTY YEARS of Plain English, a simple collection of six new paint colours in ‘elemental’ shades, created and inspired by the materials traditionally dedicated to celebrate each anniversary year. The palette is based on paper, sugar, pottery, tin and linen with pearl being the most precious, honouring Plain English’s thirtieth year. Influenced by some of the more practical colours used in the vast working kitchens found in great houses and estates, which continue to embrace the thoughtful details we are known for. This collection was put together by Kate Shaw.
