When it came to blending and naming the 114 different colours, Andrew Martin took inspiration from all over – exotic, far flung places, as well as England's coastal towns and places across Europe.

A spokesperson for the brand explained: 'Without the privilege of travel, there would be no Andrew Martin. Seeking inspiration from across the globe, Andrew Martin developed an intrepid design philosophy; that there is beauty to be found in every corner of the world. Whether we are collecting Kuba cloth from the Congo or silk ikats from Thailand, being able to design and curate without borders has been essential for Andrew Martin. Imbued with romance of travel, the premium paint collection pays tribute to the places that has inspired the brand for over 40 years, the discoveries that they have made, and all the people met along the way.'
