APPENDIX 3 APPROVED PAINT COLOURS COLOUR PALETTE
APPROVED PAINT COLOURS COLOUR PALETTE SUMMARY The proposed introduction of a colour palette into the town centre is designed to guide retailers, businesses and residents about the range of colours available that were adopted during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, the time when most of the buildings within Swadlincote were built. This colour palette has been informed by research and sampling to produce 64 Main Colours and 23 Accent Colours of original Victorian colours. This colour palette has been researched by Crick Smith Conservation, experts in historic paint analysis and it is highly authoritative. Victorians and Edwardians used the full range of colours that were available to them. They adopted some bright colours, as well as rich and dark colours, as can be seen from the palette. On the following sheets colours have been grouped into the main colours (for the large areas of joinery of shopfronts) and then accent colours, which were often used to pick out or highlight details in a complementary way. This should be restricted to small elements. Existing colour schemes can be retained during any re-painting but under the Article 4(1) Direction an application will be required for altering the colour scheme. Therefore, anyone wishing to paint any previously unpainted walling, whether stone, brick or render (or repainting walls, shopfronts or windows in a different colour) in Swadlincote Conservation Area must apply for planning permission. This includes the principal building, any outbuildings and boundary walls. For the purposes of clarification, repainting the stonework, brickwork, render or joinery of your property in the same colour as the existing painted finish, does not require any permission. STOCKISTS The colours identified in the list are intended as a visual guide only, as the colour may vary if looking at these on the internet; this varies according to screen resolution and settings. For precise colour matching, it is advisable to obtain a sample colour tester pot from the paint supplier or view the colour swatch at the District Council reception desk. All colours are numbered according to the NCS (Natural Colour System) colour reference. This is an internationally recognised system of identifying colours by visual reference. The website http://www.ncscolour.com has a colour wheel against which these colours can be seen on screen. There are a number of paint suppliers that can mix paint to the NCS colour references. These include; Johnstones Paint, Little Greene Paint, Dulux Trade Paint & Albany Paints. This range of paint suppliers will mix paint to these colour references. They will mix them with their own paint formulas, which provides a choice in the type of finish. For example, Dulux gloss paint will vary
from Little Greene traditional oil gloss paint or traditional oil eggshell. All of these can be mixed using NCS colour references.
