How they read
In their own wordsCalke Green takes its name from the breakfast room at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, and it has the settled, slightly faded quality of a color that has been on a wall for two hundred years. It is a mid-tone green with enough grey to stay calm and enough yellow to stay warm — the green of gardens rather than forests.
Jacket is a Portola Roman Clay in a deep charcoal-brown — a black with the hardness taken out. Because Roman Clay is troweled on, the surface is never uniform: it shifts between soot and warm ash across a wall, with a soft, suede-like depth that no flat paint can match.
