COLOURFUL PAST

Dipping into Little Greene’s 2017 ‘Colours of England’ range is a time traveller’s delight – it features several years’ worth of the British paint manufacturer’s colours. Prefer a more contemporary aesthetic? The collection also includes seven new launches – among them is ‘Mortlake Yellow’ (right), a warm, creamy shade of mustard that is as on-trend as can be. £21 for one litre of Absolute Matt Emulsion ( littlegreene.com).
