This vibrant shade echoes the warmth of togetherness, reminding us that joy is always a shared creation.
The green of nature's gifts
Christmas blooms with Sorrel Green™ No.207, a verdant green inspired by the earthy richness of nature; root vegetables spill from the frame like offerings of abundance, grounding the season in gratitude for the earth's bounty. This is the colour of evergreen trees, of fresh herbs, of life itself, woven into every corner of our celebrations.
A legacy of elegance
this deep burgundy cradles the chrysanthemum in a sea of treasures, symbolising the beauty that grows from a foundation of history, whispering of tradition and the enduring elegance that shapes each festive moment.

The drama of the season
Sinner™ No.238 takes centre stage, a bold, dramatic hue that revels in the richness of tradition; vibrant blooms burst forth in a celebration of life and colour, each petal a reminder of the joy found in indulgence and the beauty of embracing the extraordinary.
The creativity of Christmas
Bloomsbury™ No.267 as its muse; grapes cascade like ideas, abundant and ripe, against the warmth of terracotta. This bohemian shade, inspired by the artistic legacy of the Bloomsbury Group, celebrates the craftsmanship and care that make Christmas truly personal.
The luxury of giving
Bond Street™ No.219 shines, a colour of elegance and sophistication, named after London's famed shopping destination; polished silver trophies glint in the light, a reflection of thoughtfulness and care in every gift, the luxury of giving beautifully, a gesture wrapped in love.
