COLOUR COLLECTION No.5 Plain English is familiar with the art of time travel. For our most recent range of paints, we step through a time portal and out into an 18th Century British neighbourhood and park, hello sky! hello trees! Eight new colours celebrating all that we see on our walk – high walled backyards, curtained doorways, gloss painted passageways, mossy tracks and bosky meadows. Colours inspired by a past land submerged in nature and fresh air. This collection was put together by Sue Skeen and Katie Fontana.
43. CARBOLIC
Scrubbed - a block of green carbolic soap, a stiff brush and plenty of elbow grease.
44. COARSE CLOTH
Un-dyed hemp or a sort of lumpy porridge colour.
45. SHRUBBERY
Dense, leafy and perfect for assignations
46. COLD HANDS
Forgotten your mittens?
47. DOG-EARED
Things we love a lot - positively antique, in a good way
48. WELL RUBBED
Like a prize conker - or something else familiar in the hand all burnished and glossy.
49. DRABBLED
Off the beaten track - the green you find in damp muddy places.
50. SPLASH IN A BUCKET
Fill a metal bucket with water - look at the sky reflected in it.
