ABOUT THE COLOURS

Swatches are digital illustrations, not photographs of tested paint mixtures. Ratios are starting points, not guaranteed colour formulas. Results vary with your paints, surface and application; screens and printers also affect appearance.

Mix, observe and create a reference that belongs to your own palette.
