Eight shades from the London heritage brand's small, hand-mixed range — from the 2026 Colour of the Year to a Beata Heuman-collaboration green.
Mylands has been hand-mixing paint in South London since 1884, and it shows in a range built for restraint rather than volume — around 140 colours named after the streets, squares and landmarks of the city where they're still made. It sits alongside Farrow & Ball and Little Greene as one of the three heritage-British paint houses most designers reach for first, with its own particular register: slightly quieter, slightly more London-specific.
The eight below cover the range end to end — the 2026 Colour of the Year, a whole-house neutral, a period front-door red, and a couple of the deeper heritage shades that make Mylands worth a look beyond its bigger-name rivals. Every one links to its full colour page and into the visualiser.
Mylands' hand-mixed tins are a bigger commitment than a sample pot from a mass-market brand. One photograph of your room covers every shade on this page before you order one.

Mylands' 2026 Colour of the Year — a heritage teal-grey with real depth. Reads considered rather than trend-led, and strong enough to anchor a kitchen or a study without needing a second accent colour.
A soft, chalky off-white named for one of London's grandest squares. Warm enough to avoid the flatness of a builder's white, quiet enough to work as a whole-house connective colour through hallways and landings.
A near-black charcoal with just enough warmth to stop it reading as pure black. The classic choice for a London front door, window frames, or cabinetry that needs to anchor a paler scheme.
A muted brick red, closer to weathered terracotta than fire-engine red. One of Mylands' oldest named colours, and a period-appropriate alternative to a bolder Farrow & Ball or Little Greene red.
A warm stone neutral with a faint green undertone. Sits comfortably behind furniture and artwork without disappearing into a flat greige, which is why it turns up so often as a living-room base colour.
A deep, dusty bottle green from Mylands' collaboration with designer Beata Heuman. Dark enough to feel enveloping in a study or library, without the blue undertone that makes some heritage greens read cold.
A warm, sage-tinted olive that sits between a neutral and a colour. Works well on kitchen cabinetry paired with brass hardware, or as a calmer alternative to a fully saturated green.
A deep blue-grey with enough black in it to feel dramatic without tipping into navy. A confident choice for a bedroom or hallway that wants depth without full-on darkness.
Mylands has been mixing paint in the same Peckham factory since 1884, and the range still reflects that — around 140 colours rather than the thousands a mass-market brand ships, with each tin mixed to order rather than pulled off a shelf. That smaller scale shows up in the names as much as the colours: London streets, squares and landmarks (Belgravia, Grosvenor Square, Downing Street) rather than the abstract naming conventions bigger brands lean on.
It puts Mylands in direct competition with Farrow & Ball and Little Greene for the same heritage-British audience, but with its own register — slightly more restrained, slightly more London-specific, and priced to match its smaller production runs.
