Farrow and Ball Paint Pots     10th Apr 2009

I've been playing the name game this week and trying to think up some cool names for the colours featuring in the prints I am creating with Heartbreak Publishing.

I wanted to come up with something a little more inspired than the usual "green on white" and "tonal blue" and my thoughts turned to the paint and wallpaper manufacturers Farrow and Ball. Maybe its just a trick of marketing, but paint names like Skimming Stone, Mouse's Back and Elephant's Breath just make me want to buy tins and tins of paint and engulf my little flat in this whimsical world of painterly lushness.

My thoughts so far have been along the lines of Scorched Marshmallow, Cat's Nose, Wilted Rocket and Meteorite Smudge... Any other flashes of inspiration?!
