Bristol - Colour My World

Scheme Cards
The five colours on each of Bristol?s Colour Scheme Cards are chosen to work with each other and when used in the following proportions will help you to decorate with confidence. The main colour in the room should be at least 50% of the whole colour scheme. A colour has been selected on the card but you can choose any colour. The second colour should represent about 25% of the colour in the room. It could be used on another wall, or be the colour of the flooring or curtains. Accent colours make up the balance of colour in the room and are used to create visual interest. These can be the colours of accessories such as vases, pictures, rugs and cushions.

Bristol can truly colour your world. The Bristol colour offer contains over 2000 colours, from bright and vibrant hues to clean neutrals and soft pastels. We can tint these colours in a wide range of interior, exterior, premium and ultra premium products depending on your needs.
