Eco paint brand Thorndown has expanded its collection of wood and wall paints with a new shade: Egret White.
A stunning off-white with just a touch of cream, Egret White was inspired by the pale herons found in the wetlands of Somerset, near Thorndown's factory.
Caroline Thornborough, design director at Thorndown, said: “Thorndown was inspired by the environment and landscape around us, which is why we are committed to developing environmentally friendly paints that are safe to use in the home and garden.”
“But our local environment not only influences the way we make our paints, but also motivates us to create new shades, and Egret White is no exception.
“We spotted a group of herons near the factory where all of our paints are made and knew we had to create a color in honor of these birds.
“Like the great egret, this color is predominantly white with a soft yellow-cream undertone, similar to the hue found under the wings of a heron.”
Inviting and welcoming, Egret White can be used to create a calming, cozy atmosphere. It combines beautifully with natural materials such as wooden furniture or rattan textiles and complements a range of other tones, including soft blues and greens for a calmer space and bold hues for contrast.
It works well in both traditional and modern environments.
Egret White is one of 73 shades available in Thorndown's technically superior wood paint and is the 57thTh Color to complement Thorndown's wall paint range.
Like all other Thorndown products, Egret White is a water-based paint that contains virtually no VOCs.
Thorndown's Egret White is now available in both wall and wood paint, priced at £22 for 750ml.
