About this colour

This shade reads warm and light, with #F0E3B7 giving it a creamy, sunlit body rather than a bright white edge. On a wall, it lifts a room well but still holds enough depth to avoid looking thin. In north-facing light it can appear a little more subdued and buttery, while in south-facing rooms the yellow warmth becomes clearer and more inviting. In Active Emulsion or Waterbased Eggshell, it works neatly on walls or woodwork and sits comfortably beside walnut, oak, painted joinery, and upholstered pieces in muted greens, blues, or russet tones.

How to use it

It suits sitting rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where you want a calm, traditional warmth. Pair it with painted skirting, window frames, or a skirted chair in deep olive, damson, or indigo.

A warm ivory that softens a wall without feeling pale or cold.

Imperial Ivory is a wall colour, so these are the cloths that sit against it: one of them on the curtains, the paint behind. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.
