BRITISH COLOUR STANDARD Catalogue

The art/design team of Jackie Piper & Victoria Whitbread have a shared love of colour & material exploration. Discovering an old colour dictionary in an Oxfam shop began a journey to re-establish this long-forgotten brand.

A treasure trove of colour & rich history first established 1931.

Out of use since the 1950’s, they acquired & accurately scanned original colour dictionaries.

A digital colour reader established a profile for the many hundreds of colours created and logged in the 1930’s and these original colours & names are used in homeware and gift collections.

Derived and inspired from nature, flora & fauna, as well as semi-precious stones & spices, the main collections include many historic & special Royal colours, designed and used for coronations & special events.
