The Perfect Palette for Picking Paint Colors
For your next finishing project, look no further than the Colours of London, a curated collection of 120 colors from Mylands.
Paint stores, home centers, and hardware stores offer seemingly endless paint colors, combinations, and collections, along with an annual color of the year. Finding just the right color in this vast sea of swatches can feel like a daunting task, but whenever I’m ready for my next paint purchase, I turn to Mylands’s Colours of London, a collection of 120 colors inspired by districts, landmarks, and people associated with the city of London.
Mylands is a family-owned British paint manufacturer dating back to the late 19th century. Their products are geared toward the high-end luxury market, and while I can’t speak to the quality of their finishes, their colors in this collection are the only ones I consider when choosing paint. If I can’t find the shade I’m looking for in this palette, I don’t need it. When I’m ready to paint, I head to my local Sherwin-Williams store with my Colours of London swatch book in hand. They can easily scan my color of choice for a perfect match in any sheen.
The only U.S. distributor of Mylands products—and the lone source for their swatch books and fan decks—is Eagle Paint and Wallpaper in Englewood, N.J.
