Coles' Colour Card
Never originally intended as a wallpaper, the charming Coles' Colour Card is adapted from one of many mid-century paint cards discovered within the Cole & Son archive. A joyful curation of bright and optimistic hues, the original card offers a glimpse into the post-war period, an era when colour was embraced with confidence and creativity. Shades such as Tuscan Red, Lapis, and Mimosa are punctuated with painterly daubs and splatters, as though lifted directly from the artists studio.
Preserving the character of the original document, the design celebrates the beauty of colour in its purest form. Perhaps unexpectedly vibrant for an archival reference, the palette feels remarkably relevant for contemporary interiors, influencing and informing colour stories throughout the wider collection. Both playful and authentic, Coles' Colour Card transforms a practical studio tool into a decorative expression of creativity and craft.
