Miss Mustard Seed Shutter Grey
Shutter Grey is another one of Marian’s favourites. It’s a French blue/grey that has a faded quality about it. It’s named for a pair of antique grey shutters Marian found at an antique store.
For a pale blue grey, mix Shutter Grey with Grain Sack. It pairs well with Mustard Seed Yellow and Linen.
Mustard Seed Yellow.
Mustard Seed Yellow is a warm, buttery yellow. It’s bright without being too bold and it’s a perfect “happy yellow.”
Mix it with Tricycle for varying shades of coral. It pairs well with Shutter Gray and Lucketts Green.
Miss Mustard Seed Lucketts Green.
Lucketts Green is named after the colour of the shingled siding on The Old Lucketts Store in Lucketts, Virginia. It is Marian’s favourite antique store and source of design inspiration, and she was a vendor there for several years. Lucketts Green is a soft, spring green with yellow undertones. It’s very close to the colour commonly found on furniture in the 1930’s and 1940’s, making it the perfect vintage green.
Mix with Boxwood to make a bright, grassy green or with Linen for a pale pastel. For a nice contrast, Lucketts Green pairs well with Artissimo and Dried Lavender.
Miss Mustard Seed Linen.
Linen is the cream in Milk Paint range. Named after linen fabrics that have slightly yellowed with age, this colour has warm undertones and is a nice, creamy white.
Mix Linen with other colours to make them seem lighter and warmer. Linen mixes and pairs beautifully with Apron Strings and Kitchen Scale.

Miss Mustard Seed Kitchen Scale
This colour has become one of my favourites it is a rich teal, named after an antique set of kitchen scales Marian once had in her kitchen. The scales have since been passed along to Jennylyn, the president of Homestead House Paint Co who manufacture the Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint range.
Kitchen Scale can be mixed with Linen to achieve a soft, robin’s egg blue. It pairs well with Grain Sack.
Miss Mustard Seed Ironstone
Ironstone is the closest to a pure white currently in the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint range. It is named after Marian’s favourite thing to collect which is white ironstone china. This colour is a slightly cooler off-white and pulls a little Gray. If you want white, this is your
colour.
Mix Ironstone with colours to lighten them. Obviously, white pairs well with everything!
Miss Mustard Seed Grain Sack is one of our favourite colours, named for the colour of antique European grain sacks. It’s a chameleon colour, meaning it looks different depending on what is around it. Sometimes it looks white, sometimes Gray and sometimes more beige.
Grain Sack is a great colour to mix in order to lighten without making the colour too pastel. It pairs well with the other greys in the line – Shutter Gray and Trophy.
Miss Mustard Seed French Enamel is named for the French enamel ware pitchers Marian has always admired in antique stores and magazines. The colour is a vibrant, mid-tone blue.
Mix French Enamel with Tricycle for a vibrant purple or Typewriter for a darker, more muted blue. It also pairs well with Flow Blue and Mustard Seed Yellow.
Miss Mustard Seed Flow Blue is a rich blue created for the Miss Mustard Seed milk paint line is a reminder of the colour found on flow blue dishes.
Flow Blue milk paint is somewhere between royal and navy and has some green undertones. It’s bright, but classic. It is a colour that looks great when it’s distressed and paired with dark woods.
Miss Mustard Seed Eulalie’s Sky is a pale greenish-blue named after the colour of the sky in a painting of a cow by artist Cindy Austin. Marian named the cow Eulalie and she has hung the picture happily in her home for several years. It has become a trademark of Marian’s style.
Miss Mustard Seed Eulalie’s Sky can be paired with Linen and Kitchen Scale.
