The perfect match

As part of its 95th birthday celebrations, Aga,

0800 111 6477, agaliving.com, is launching a bespoke colour-matching service for its range cookers.

The idea seems so simple, you may wonder why it hasn’t been offered before. The answer is down to the finish. Unlike paint, which is easy to mix with precision, vitreous enamel colours must be tested for stability. While this means that not every colour will be possible, Aga believes that most can be matched. Such exclusivity comes at a cost – £500 for an Aga 60 and £2,000 for other models – but imagine the potential for a co-ordinated scheme.
