Our professional product portfolio includes trusted brands such as Crown Trade, Sandtex, Sadolin and Macpherson Trade Paints – each designed to meet the creative and practical demands of modern interior projects.

We offer a wide range of support for designers, including: a fan deck with over 1,400 colour and trend-led Colour Edit cards to inspire and inform, orders of free pure paint samples online to help curate mood boards and colour schemes, a dedicated Colour Services team (providing bespoke colour schemes, technical advice and colour matching) and annual Colour Insights reports and specialist research such as Designing for Neurodiversity, helping shape inclusive and emotionally responsive spaces.

Crown Paints also offers eight RIBA and BIID-approved CPDs, covering topics from colour psychology and light to inclusive design and dementia. These are available in-person or online and are designed to provide interior designers with actionable, evidence-based knowledge.

From samples to specification support, Crown Paints helps interior designers bring colour to life – purposefully, inclusively and with confidence.
