Provence - Blue green shutters in the South of France are the inspiration for this colour. Set against walls of any of the whites. Provence needs light and bright fabrics with a Mediterranean and seaside feel. Other paint colours that work with Provence also need to have the same freshness and strength. Of course a cupboard painted Provence looks great against a wall of Old White.

A vintage French table painted in Provence - a little water added to make it smooth as no distressing was wanted - then waxed. Adorable!

Provençe is based on all those beautiful shuuters and doors you see in the South of France. They are all a bit like this - sometimes a little more green (add Antibes) or sometimes a little more blue ( add Duck Egg) or paler (add Old White) or a little more muted (add Country Grey).
