The phrase 'Trouble at Mill' is thought to have originated in the North of England, where "mill" was a common name for a factory or workshop. This paint colour pays homage to the cotton mills of the 1800s in our home city of Manchester and is a quietly confident off-white with warm undertones.
Inspired by industrial heritage yet effortlessly modern, this soft, chalky neutral brings a sense of clarity and calm to any interior. Its adaptable tone works beautifully in both bright and low-lit rooms, subtly adjusting with natural light to create a soothing, open feel. Ideal as a coordinating base in minimalist, modern rustic or Scandinavian spaces, it pairs effortlessly with pale woods, natural stone and soft metallic accents.
Formulated as a luxury matt emulsion for walls and ceilings, this eco paint is water-based, low in VOCs and solvent-free — kinder to your home and the planet. Each litre covers up to 10m² and is touch dry within 1–2 hours, ready for a second coat in just four. A timeless choice for living rooms, kitchens or serene bedrooms.
