Artichoke - Graphenstone Grafclean - Natural Mineral Based Paint
A fresh, iconic green. A vibrant green paint colour echoes nature's richness and fosters a sense of balance and harmony within the home. It is ideal for living spaces and kitchens. Artichoke is a perfect backdrop for growth, reflection, and renewal areas. It often feels much fresher and brighter in well-lit rooms and when contrasted with a bright white, such as Glacier or White Linen.

Top selling, coloured wall and ceiling natural emulsion. Hard wearing, washable and suitable for old painted walls and all plasters.
This is our 'goto' natural emulsion paint, it's a top seller and a customer favourite for good reason, and I use it myself on my own walls at home. My wife and kids are asthmatic, so I take this very seriously!
Improve your indoor air quality: The quickest way to make a massive difference to your indoor air quality is switching your toxic chemical loaded 'big brand paint' (Yes they really are that bad) to a natural mineral based alternative such as this fabulous ultra matt gorgeous paint for your interior walls.
Colours: 120 colours on the colour chart, all of which can be purchased as A5 peel and stick swatches. Tester pots are available, but are gradually being discontinued for the peel and sticks.
** 'Old Colours' if you see 'old colour' in the colour name, this for the old 2023/2024 range. We can still mix to these colours, but they do not appear on the colour chart, and not available in the peel and sticks or as testers!
What is Graflean suitable for?
Overpainting existing painted walls. Suitable for all normal interior walls, whether you have existing (conventional 'big brand') paint you want to refresh or just want a new look with just two coats.
Bare gypsum plaster. Mist coat the bare plaster with the white Graphenstone Naturcolor first, and then 2 coats of this Grafclean.
Wood & Trim. Although you can use this paint on wood, the Grafclean Eggshell is a better choice, and available in the full colour range too.

How to use this paint
Coverage: 10-16m2 per Litre (per coat, requires 2)
This paint arrives slightly concentrated to save on water, waste and packaging, so we recommend that you add 10-15% water by weight. This is not essential, but can give you better coverage and easier application.
Drying: Touch dry in 1 hour, and leave 2-4 hours between coats. 24 hours until fully dried.
Colours: Please do not order from any digital colour charts or screens as they can vary from screen to screen. Always try a tester pot, or order a peel and stick A5 swatch before ordering.
Returns: We mix the colour per order, so we do not take returns on any coloured paint, only white, so please try a tester pot first!
