Lead White

Lead White is an ultra-pale grey that’s been in production since antiquity. Said to have first been produced in the Middle East in 2300 BC, it became widely used all over the world as a paint pigment as well as an additive to ladies’ face cream in the 18th century with the promise of a pale complexion.

THE STORY OF Lead White

Chalk cliffs. The tears of a clown. And sea mist. There’s a stillness about Lead White that makes every space feel naturally cool. With the faintest trace of grey, it’s architectural rather than stark. Give rooms proportion with its grand ambitions. Bring out the best in marble, copper and blues. And use it where there’s changing light to watch it deepen like clouds just before rain.
