Bone

Bone bridges traditional warmth and modern calm

Bone is inspired by weathered limestone—soft, stony, and just warm enough to feel inviting. It’s a go-to for bespoke joinery, wardrobes, and wall panelling because it hides everyday wear while keeping rooms bright. Use it when Pointing is too creamy but Drop Cloth feels heavy; Bone delivers a chic, lived-in look everywhere from shaker kitchens to snug living rooms.

Team it with Dimity textiles, Light Gray hallways, or Old White ceilings to create a tonal scheme. Add aged brass, travertine, and boucle to keep the palette layered and tactile.

Testing dupes & choosing finishes

Paint large sample boards and move them through each room’s lighting—Bone should stay quietly warm. If a dupe skews yellow or grey, it won’t deliver the same balance. For cabinetry and trims, choose satin or estate eggshell; on walls, washable matt keeps the chalky look while surviving scrubbing.

When pairing Bone with cooler neighbours like Light Gray, match sheen levels so transitions feel intentional.

Where Bone excels

It’s perfect for kitchen cupboards, built-in shelving, bedroom wardrobes, or entire sitting rooms. Because it’s mid-tone, it flatters both period mouldings and contemporary, handleless doors. Layer it with natural textures, patterned upholstery, or matte black accents and Bone becomes the quiet, curated backdrop tying everything together.
