The card and its contents have been cleverly edited into six columns of graduated families representing the breadth of the individual stone hues. The six families are divided according to undertone, each based on naturally occurring pigments; Red Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Lamp Black and Green Earth. The card has been designed to make colour selection simple - colours within the same column can be used alongside each other within tonal schemes, whilst shades from across the colour families can be combined to deliver more dynamic, contrasting combinations.

The capsule collection of warm neutrals provides a welcome transition from the ever-popular decade of grey. The move to warmer, more natural colours often termed the ‘new neutrals’, sees earthy, stonier tones becoming increasingly popular, providing a restful alternative to cooler choices. These gentle neutrals can be used in all areas of the home adding warmth, relaxation and simplicity as well as a sophisticated, complementary canvas for fabrics wallcoverings and furnishings from all genres.

Our Creative Director, Ruth Mottershead, says:

"Our households have become our haven, whether working or relaxing we are all spending an increased amount of time at home. We are searching for interiors that are comforting, which is driving the desire to create cocooning, cosy spaces - the colours of 'Stone' are indefinably beautiful, so pleasing to the eye and soothing for the soul. There is certainly a shift away from cooler greys towards warmer hues, and the warm neutrals that the Stone palette provides are perfect for creating restful living spaces, whilst absolutely attaining elegance in both contemporary and classical settings. This is not about a return to beige or magnolia, it’s about using these new neutrals to create interiors that are smart and inviting."
