The Olive That Goes With Everything.
Olivia is that rare colour — a mid-toned, brownish-green that manages to feel both grounded and fresh at the same time. Think of the perfect olive plopped into a dirty martini: sophisticated, earthy, and completely at ease in any setting. It's a brilliant alternative to grey for anyone who wants botanical warmth with a hint of heritage.
Come autumn, Olivia is the colour for cosy interiors — stunning on kitchen cupboards, hallway furniture, and upcycled pieces that deserve a colour with real depth and character.
Weatherproof Al Fresco is a water based, eco-friendly chalk and mineral furniture paint with a low, almost flat finish. Self-priming, self-sealing, and suitable for wood, laminate, UPVC/composites and metal both indoors and out. Minimal VOC content and EN71-3 compliant — safe for use on children's toys.
