BACKGROUND

Paint Library’s tones are designed to give a profound depth of colour by using only the finest pigments and ingredients.

Many of these colours have been found in some of the most prestigious properties around the world, and this has been reflected in their colour palette.

A ‘world traveller’ ethos has inspired many of there shades, creating a global language for both well-travelled and aspiring travellers alike.

Some colours have been taken directly from grand interior spaces, some sourced from historic locations, others simply redolent of a landmark or destination developed by there design team into unique and highly versatile shades.

 

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

With creativity comes responsibility and with beauty comes duty. Paper and Paint Library make every effort to minimise any negative impact on the environment and health.

All of their paints are made by traditional methods, use the highest quality eco-friendly ingredients, and meet and exceed the current regulations on VOC solvent content; formulated to impact your walls, not on the environment.

RIBA

Paper and Paint Library have joined forces with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) on a range of special co-branded paints.

It seemed a natural fit to join forces with the RIBA, which celebrates and upholds the best in British design and architecture and were delighted to formalise our relationship from September 2017.

RIBA Chief Executive, Alan Vallance adds: “I am delighted the RIBA is partnering Paint & Paper Library on a great range of co-branded paints, and thank the company for its ongoing support for the RIBA House of the Year Award. This fantastic partnership reflects our shared commitment to celebrating exceptional design in the built environment.”
