Frequently asked questions
Before you continue
Is the closest digital match always the best room colour?
No. The result measures colour proximity, but proportion, light, finish and surrounding materials also influence a successful interior scheme.
Are on-screen colours accurate?
They are digital representations only. Always test a physical paint or wallpaper sample in the intended space before deciding.
Can I confirm availability online?
The site is for discovery and guidance, not live stock control. Contact the Mill Hill showroom for current availability, variants and lead times.
