Lute
The red and yellow pigmentation of this colour is from where it gets its name (before the Civil War apparently) as it comes from the Latin adjective luteus. I love its robust character, it will instantly proclaim a Georgian residence of the middling sort and it is a real friend to an interior with good architectural bones.
We offer Lute in three lighter shades. 60%, 40% and 20% lighter shades, we make historical paints for period properties so the walls can maintain their breathability for the next 200 years.
First, I wanted to say how well all your recommendations are looking so far and that the decorator loves the paints. Apparently they’re a joy to use and even his wife notices how much nicer he smells using them!
