Colour, Curated for Olive & Barr

In collaboration with award-winning kitchen makers Olive & Barr, we've created The Colour Edit, a curated selection of 28 colours from across our collections. Carefully chosen to simplify the decision-making process, these versatile shades make it easier than ever to find the perfect colour for your kitchen.

Al Bruce, founder of Olive & Barr, comments: "Colour is often the aspect people can feel most overwhelmed with when designing their dream kitchen; finding a balance between being timeless, aesthetically sympathetic to the property and something you'll simply love for years to come can be difficult."

Curated by Mylands' colourists, this 28-colour palette is designed specifically for kitchens, ensuring each shade complements the materials and finishes that adorn the space, and it includes lights, mid-tones, anchors and darks.

The colours can be seen in person at the new Olive & Barr showroom opening in Bristol this month, where a traditional Shaker kitchen features Mylands Huguenot™ No.49 against a dark-stained oak island and a Sensa worktop with a striking bullnose edge. Our pale shades are also on display, with a skinny Shaker kitchen painted in Fitzrovia™ No.26, complemented by a light oak full-height larder and a dramatic Verdi Alpa marble worktop from India.

The pairing is already in customers' and tastemakers' homes, with Messel™ No.39 showcased in a beautiful, contemporary kitchen designed by The Country House Diaries; the darker cabinetry is complemented by white surroundings and accessories, walnut stools and a lighter herringbone floor, letting the deep, rich colour draw the eye to the timber and hardware.

Gemma Dalton, Mylands colour specialist, comments: "The Olive & Barr colour edit brings together warm whites and softly complex neutrals that establish a calm, light-filled foundation. Together, the collection reflects key design directions toward warmth, clarity and deeper tonal contrast. The selected shades create space within a scheme, sitting comfortably alongside natural materials and allowing Olive & Barr's craftsmanship and hardware detail to remain at the forefront. We've created a versatile yet cohesive edit designed specifically to support schemes that feel harmonious, grounded and thoughtfully composed, naturally balancing light, structure and depth."
