Building a Palette With Ruffled Feathers

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

• Crisp white - for a clean, layered look.
• Charcoal or black - for contrast on details.
• Soft blue or sage - for a hint of colour.

A shared accent between two rooms is an easy way to make the whole home feel considered.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Ruffled Feathers 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 - cool neutral can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
