We can get so much useful information from paint analysis. Without it we would never have discovered that the ceiling was three different shades of pink, a very unusual Georgian Colour scheme! @paperspaints

Thanks Ricky. That yellow is Wild Canary, which was taken from Werner's Nomenclature on which the latest book is based. The colour found on the 'Canary Bird', 'Yellow Jasmine' and 'High Coloured Sulphur' in Werner.
