Rooted in the romance of travel, the Andrew Martin paint collection takes
you on a journey of discovery across the globe. From America's
Great Plains, represented by a soft and elegant grey, to the
interlocking treetops of the Amazonian rainforests, captured in
lush green Canopy. Staying true to the Andrew Martin ethos, our
palette of 114 colours is made up of an extensive range of
versatile neutrals, punctuated by bold splashes of zingy colour.
Read on to explore the first of our top twenty colours, beginning
with the new neutrals.

White makes the ultimate statement, nothing is so black and white as white
Martin Waller
There is sanctuary and a romance to be found in pure white and
the absence of colour, as the Arctic landscape demonstrates. To
capture this we created Polar Bear, a
creamy white inspired by the warmth of its namesake's fur coat
against their icy surroundings. The softness of this shade makes it
a perfect choice for all white schemes, where shadow and tone are
essential for creating texture and depth. Finish off with layers of
tactile furnishings and golden wood accents to accentuate it's
warmth. For a more contemporary look, delicate greys like Cloud
Forest, Maasai Mist
or Great
Plains each offer a great alternative to pure white for
creating light and bright spaces. With varying undertones, each
shade adapts with the changing light of day. Maasai Mist can appear
almost pale blue in some lights, and Great Plains has a tint of
beige for a more classic feel.

Blue may not first come to mind as a neutral shade, but it's
calming properties make it a natural choice for creating soothing,
grown up spaces. At first glance, Sussex
Flint may seem like an unassuming mid-toned grey, but a dose of
blue gives it a crispness that is a great alternative to all white
or pale grey walls. Blue Nile is a
slightly bolder and more pigmented blue, but it has a muted quality
that helps to widen a space and promotes a relaxed atmosphere,
especially when paired with creamy shades like Coconut
Beach or Parachute.

Neutral schemes don't always have to involve pale, muted
colours. Our selection of darker greys and taupes will define a
space whilst maintaining a serene and calming mood. Monolith is a
warm, velvety grey with hints of mauve that will give any room an
inviting feel. It is dark enough to stand up against black or
mahogany furniture, but gentle enough to work with white soft
furnishings like bed linen or cushions. Surprisingly versatile,
Wild
Truffle and Mount
Kilimanjaro are strong dark shades that will help ground a
room, before confidently sinking into the background to let other
colours and textures shine.
