Building a Palette With Calm Winds

Planning colours across the home? Treat Calm Winds as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• Almost any accent colour - since white sets off everything.
• Black accents - for a crisp, modern edge.
• Soft grey and greige - for a little subtle depth.

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Calm Winds warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Start

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - off-white can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
