We are Moving

After 16 years in London, Colour Makes People Happy has now moved its independent shop to Lewes, East Sussex.

We are still making friendly paint for your home in our unique way using ingredients from the South Downs including linseed oil, chalk and alabaster.

We continue to offer our consultation services, and the spin machine will be back in action so you can make your own works of art.

There will be many more exciting things to come.

Standard Paint

Standard Paint is our own brand of entirely natural, eco-friendly paint made with local ingredients from the South Downs.

Made with a linseed oil base, Standard Paint can be used on almost any surface to provide a durable and nourishing coating. There are no solvents, binders or emulsifiers. It does not contain heavy metals, carcinogenic or toxic substances.

A major factor in assessing the true cost to the environment of any paint is durability of finish. The cost of using our paint can be significantly less than conventional paints because our products last longer due to the durability of linseed oil. In Scandinavia, where linseed paints are common, original coats of linseed paint have survived on houses well over 500 years old.

Standard Paint also goes a lot further than traditional paints (up to 2.5 times).

We are able to colour match in store or you can try our paint bar where colours are created by hand (alla bar tender cocktail maker) at the counter.

Manifesto

COLOUR IS EVERYWHERE.

IT IS NEVER SEEN IN ISOLATION.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A COLOUR FROM THE PAST, OR FROM THE FUTURE.

PURGE THE WORLD OF SAPPY CREDULOUSNESS.

BELIEVE IN SHOPS, NOT GALLERIES.

CHOOSE THE COLOUR YOU LIKE.

DON’T LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE, INCLUDING ME.

TASTE IS SIMPLY CONFIDENT DECISION-MAKING.

BOLDNESS IS A PERSONAL MEASURE.

IT DOES NOT MEAN BRIGHT OR STARTLING.

IT MEANS DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO.

BE BOLD.
