Our Exclusive Palette
Bond Street™ No.219 - From Mylands' own archive, this colour was originally inspired by a property on Bond Street. A deep, dark blue that creates a commanding yet tranquil atmosphere, making it the perfect shade to complement Shapero Rare Books' presence on this iconic street.
Hawksmoor™ No.112 - A subtle, soft silver blue that pairs perfectly with Bond Street™ No.219, offering a calming presence. Its cool tone makes it a refined alternative to white or off-white.
Holland Park™ No.5 - This shade first featured in a period home located in its namesake. Soft in appearance with warm undertones of yellow, it is a versatile shade that brings a gentle yet uplifting presence.
Museum™ No.151 - Inspired by Victorian-era museums and galleries, this ashy blue-green adds a refined hint of colour to interiors. It provides a peaceful ambiance while beautifully offsetting brighter shades.
Cadogan Stone™ No.59
Mylands is Britain’s oldest family-owned manufacturer of paints and wood polishes, with an ongoing commitment to quality, innovation and sustainability that ensures its products completely transform a space while remaining kind to people and kind to the planet.
Introduced from a modest South London store in 1884, the naturally pigmented paints quickly distinguished themselves for their lustrous quality, depth of colour and durability, becoming a best-kept trade secret among palace decorators and set designers.
