DISCOVER THE TRUE COLOURS OF NATURE WITH FARROW & BALL | | | Hi John, | Eco-friendly paint maker Farrow & Ball has released Colour by Nature, a new collection of 16 nature-inspired colours created in collaboration with the Natural History Museum in London. Combining a shared curiosity and respect for the natural world with over 70 years of colour expertise, the collection is made up of shades as meticulously identified, classified and researched as the 132 hues that make up the iconic Farrow & Ball palette. | | THE PALETTE | Ranging from jewel-like reds and vivid oranges to deep, rich purples and earthy neutrals, the collection evokes the true colours of nature in all their dazzling diversity. The carefully curated palette of 16 colours is designed to work just as beautifully in combination with the iconic Farrow & Ball palette as it does alone. |

|
| | THE STORY | Rather than being merely inspired by nature, these hues are taken from the historic Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours, the original book that classified colour in nature used as a reference by Charles Darwin aboard HMS Beagle in 1831. Today, an early copy of the book sits in the Natural History Museum’s Rare Book Library, where it became the inspiration for Colour by Nature. |

|
| | THE FINISHES | As with every colour in the Farrow & Ball range, each shade in the Colour by Naturepalette is crafted with the richest pigments and an eco-friendly water base. Each shade is available in a choice of five durable, beautiful interior finishes, from performance matte Modern Emulsion or ultra-reflective Full Gloss. |
