Ideas & inspiration: the Jinny Blom collection
Composed with landscape designer Jinny Blom, this collection is a garden palette: earths, foliage, flowers and skies, gathered outdoors to be brought in.
Here are our schemes in her shades — naturally at ease on a façade or shutters, and surprisingly right in the living rooms too.
“A garden in paint tins: shades gathered out of doors.”
The colours of the Jinny Blom collection
Composed with landscape designer Jinny Blom, this collection of twelve shades is a garden palette: every colour comes from something observed outdoors — an earth, a leaf, a sky, a bark. That is what explains its coherence: the colours of one landscape have always agreed with each other.
The darkest shades are also the most used in our schemes: Woodnight JB.12, an undergrowth brown-black that makes remarkable front doors and shutters; Cragside JB.10, greener; and Murmuration JB.11, the deep grey of a starling flock. Sprig JB.06 brings the new-growth green, the softest in the collection.
For grounds and walls, Haar JB.09 (the sea fog), Rain JB.03, Equinox JB.08 and Grail JB.02 give greys and blue-greys that hold up as well outdoors as in. Cooper's Earth JB.05 and Riverine JB.07 bring earth and silt, Sargasso JB.04 the deep blue-green of seaweed, and Blomster JB.01 the one frankly floral note in the set.
It is the collection we recommend most often for exteriors. See also our exterior paint ideas, green paint ideas and grey paint ideas, or browse the whole Jinny Blom collection.
