Trending Colour: Thrift

18 Jul 23

Thrift, from Francesca’s Paints’ Postcard from Barra collection, is a calming, gentle colour which has a warming, nostalgic feel. It’s a trending colour for 2023 as it’s incredibly versatile, working in bedrooms, drawing rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. A pale, soft pink made with raw and burnt umber as well as yellow ochre, it pairs beautifully with several shades, including blue, grey and green. It’s a warm, reassuring colour which makes a house feel like a home.

Inspired by the beautiful untamed landscape of the Outer Hebridean island of Barra, Francesca’s Paints’ new ‘Postcard from Barra’ collection features five coordinated shades: Thrift, Sea Kale, Lichen, Croft and Traigh.
