Graphenstone Paints has announced a landmark collaboration with English Heritage, together curating a new collection of 120 colours. The collection includes 24 exclusive shades inspired by some of English Heritage’s most iconic properties, developed using data and references from original wallpapers, fabrics, furniture and paints used in these esteemed buildings.

Blending historical inspiration with contemporary colour schemes, the new collection combines 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.
All the new colours will be available in Graphenstone’s 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.’’
'The Colour Collection' replaces Graphenstone’s current ‘House Colour Card’, which archives 64 colours from the existing range. All archived colours will still be available to order.
