New! Graphenstone Paints Collaborates with English Heritage on ‘The Colour Collection’
April 30th, 2025
Graphenstone Paints is thrilled to announce a landmark
collaboration with English Heritage, the charity that cares for over 400 of
England’s most beloved historic sites. Together, they have curated a beautiful
new collection of 120 colours, including 24 exclusive shades inspired by some
of English Heritage’s most iconic properties.
Blending historical inspiration with
contemporary colour schemes, the new collection is available in Graphenstone’s
innovative paints.
Graphenstone was chosen for its
natural, mineral-based paints, which are breathable, durable, and trace VOCs,
combining sustainable materials and modern innovation.
Graphenstone paints combine
traditional materials such as lime, calcium carbonates and silicates, with
graphene—one of the planet's most durable carbon fibres—providing Class 1
durability and suitability for both interior and exterior applications.
'The Colour Collection' comprises of a selection of 120 colours,
incorporating 24 English Heritage shades and replacing Graphenstone’s current
‘House Colour Card’, which archives 64 colours from their existing range. All
archived colours will still be available to order.
All the new colours will also be
available in Graphenstone’s new reusable Peel & Stick colour samples.
Made with 30% recycled materials and
using approximately 94% less paint than traditional sample pots, these samples
reinforce Graphenstone’s commitment to sustainability by reducing waste and
minimising their operational carbon footprint.
For every purchase made, a proportion
of the proceeds will go to English Heritage and help to preserve more than 400
of the charity’s historic sites across the country.
Graphenstone UK CEO and Chairman Patrick
Folkes said, "Colour
trends have evolved throughout history, often influencing society's emotions
and perceptions.
English Heritage
is dedicated to preserving these incredible memories and buildings for future
generations.
Our paints gently 'nod to the past' by combining trusted minerals like lime and silicate with 21st-century graphene technology, ensuring they are ecological, sustainable, and highly durable.
Our clean-tech ranges create safe and healthy environments without compromising performance, making them perfect for the rigours of modern life.
With a percentage of each paint pot sold going to English Heritage, we can all play a small part in preserving these wonderful buildings.’’
