“Growing up British entitles you to a bit of color confidence,” says London-based Rita Konig, who has collaborated with Plain English on 12 new hues. Initial meetings with Plain English color expert Kate Shaw revealed shared inspirations; each had brought a box of bits and bobs (fabric swatches, bundles of twine). The two then honed their focus brewing tea and making toast—rituals that sparked their own shades. Burnt Toast, for example, is a deep brown, while Tea Caddy is an upbeat blue. The water-based paints come in eggshell, gloss, and emulsion finishes, allowing schemes that work across walls, cabinets, and moldings. As for Konig, she prefers “drenching” a room in the same color. “A Plain English kitchen will of course look elegant in off-white,” says Konig, “but it’s fun to break the rules with this new collection.” plainenglishdesign.co.uk
