The use of red ochre has deep roots in our Nordic cultural heritage from the Viking Age decorative elements, which later inspired the accent color of national romanticism in dragon ornamentation and carpentry. Light red color with a tendency towards brick color. A very common color, perhaps the most common in Swedish building tradition.

At last, linseed oil paint with real earth color pigments!

It is the linseed oil paint that has preserved and embellished Sweden’s buildings for centuries. Linseed oil paint was a matter of course, both indoors and outdoors until the 1960s. If you want to renovate in a sustainable, natural and beautiful way, then Linseed Oil Paint is No 1.

We can now proudly present three new colors of linseed oil paint made from the finest earth color pigment imaginable. Green Umbra from Verona, Red Ochre from Roussillon and French Golden Ochre. –

A linseed oil paint pigmented with genuine earth color pigments gives an extra dimension to the painted surface. Made from clay soils that have been washed and bleached by nature itself over thousands of years, they are produced in the same way today as when oil paint was introduced to our northern latitudes centuries ago. Natural clay pigments such as golden ochre and red ochre are muted and vibrant at the same time, giving the natural color tone a perfect balance for old and new houses.

While developing these new colors, we have also improved our linseed oil paint. In collaboration with Kerstin Lyckman, Sweden’s only doctor of historical oil paints, we have developed our paint, which now has better coverage and longevity and is also more historically accurate. Back to basics!

Maroon color. Classic from the 17th century onwards for joinery. Very popular from the end of the 18th century onwards, as the color resembles mahogany, a type of wood that was fashionable at the time. Finished color in a can, and normally does not break. Extremely good hiding power.
