6. RAL 7035 Light Grey Paints
7. Chartwell Green Paints
Chartwell Green is a new trending colour*, which has become extremely popular on social media influencer channels. Whilst every attempt has been made to match this colour accurately, we must advise you check the colour prior to carrying out any works to ensure it is acceptable for your requirements.
Chartwell Green is a popular uPVC colour, due to its pastel and decorative shade. It is a very complimentary colour to brickwork and floral gardens. It is a "clean" colour that is both modern and vintage to view, dependant on the building and location type - it's easy to see why it's a popular colour for new-build uPVC and garage doors, as well as vintage cottages' wooden window frames and doors.
Many variations of the colour Chartwell Green exist within the marketplace; simply having the same colour 'name' does not mean our Chartwell Green is the same as another Chartwell Green.
You should therefore check the colour before carrying out any works: buy the smallest pack size available in the product and apply 2 full coats to the item in question. Allow to dry fully before making a decision.
Rawlins Paints will not accept any liability for any costs or losses incurred in relation to colour discrepancy or similar claims.
8. RAL 5015 Sky Blue Paints
*Due to many brands and retailers offering slight variations on RAL colours, along with Chartwell Green as a legacy colour name, Rawlins Paints will not accept any liability for any costs incurred in relation to colour discrepancy or similar claims.
You should do this by purchasing the smallest pack size available in the product you are interested in, and applying it to an inconspicuous area on the item in question. Apply 2 full coats and allow to dry before making a decision.
Please note that colour swatches may appear different on different devices, taking into account factors like screen brightness and whether you are viewing a screen in natural or artificial light.
