    Highly recommend this podcast if you are a creative — or an aspiring creative! Listening to The Colourist makes me feel like I am in the (beautiful) room with Annie Sloan and Tristan Merriam. The history and examples of each color and style they discuss is fascinating. And inspiring! After each episode I just want to grab a brush and transform every room of my house. I think I shall!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Annie went to the Schiaparelli Exhibition at the V&A
Q: When would you choose to use wax versus lacquer for furniture finishing?
Wax is favored for a softer, warmer, and more tactile finish with aging potential, while lacquer offers UV protection, durability, and a shinier or matte flat look; choice depends on durability needs and the space (e.g., floors benefit from lacquer, while furniture can be waxed for a richer feel).
Napoleonic Blue
Q: Do you remember a time when you were making Napoleonic blue, for example, and you were going into the factory and you were tweaking the recipe?
Annie Sloan reflects on her early experiences in making Napoleonic Blue, discussing her efforts to achieve the right balance and avoiding adding too much black to the paint.
Capability Green - Live from Courthouse Farm.
Q: In the hierarchy of popularity of all colours, where does the colour green feature?
Green is popular but not the top choice; it typically ranks after whites and neutrals.
Capability Green - Live from Courthouse Farm.
Q: What colours in your colour line would be complementary to Capability Green?
Antoinette, Jaipur, and Primer Red would complement Capability Green well.
Emperors Silk
Q: What colors work well with Emperor's Silk?
Black, gold, and shades of blue complement Emperor's Silk beautifully, balancing its brightness.
