Uncover Mr Mole

In this week’s celebration of our 12 new colours, we’re shining the spotlight on a shade that keeps everything beautifully grounded. Meet Mr Mole, your new favourite grey.

Mr Mole is our earthy charcoal with a reassuring depth. It feels calm and considered on its own, wrapping a room in a steady, grounded presence. But where it truly comes into its own is alongside brighter tones, bringing balance and quiet confidence to a more playful palette.

Uncover Mr Mole and be inspired by its potential.

For a perfectly rooted, nature-led scheme, we’d pair it with Oliver Twig. The richness of olive green against this deep charcoal feels effortlessly harmonious – ideal for a functional yet stylish bootroom or utility space.

Decorating a south-facing room? Combine Mr Mole with Ragdoll to soften the warmth of natural light and create a space that feels familiar and comforting from morning through to dusk.

For something timeless, consider Straw. Easy to live with and endlessly versatile, Straw and Mr Mole together form an enduring palette that works beautifully in a hallway or downstairs loo.

 

Unlike its namesake, Mr Mole is perfectly at home in bright, sunny rooms – its earthy undertones gently balance golden light.

If you’re looking to introduce a sense of cohesion into your home, Mr Mole is a wonderful foundation. It anchors lighter shades, elevates bolder choices and ties a scheme together with understated elegance.

 

Mr Mole is available in our signature Claypaint, ideal for older properties thanks to its breathable qualities and distinctive ultra flat matt finish.

Prefer a subtle nod to charcoal rather than a full statement wall? Eggshell No.17 is perfect for panelling, skirting boards, interior doors and kitchen cabinetry. A touch of Mr Mole on woodwork can bring depth and character without overwhelming your space.

And with Mr Mole available across all our interior finishes, you have the freedom to use it your way – whether that’s a bold transformation or a thoughtful accent.
