PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: Cavepool Grey

Everything you need to know about Thorndown’s ever-popular teal-grey

A permanent fixture of eco paint brand Thorndown’s best-selling paint charts since 2020, Cavepool Grey has experienced soaring popularity.

Its appeal is undeniable. A striking dark grey with a hint of forest green, Cavepool Grey is a deep, almost teal that commands attention.

Now, Thorndown is lifting the lid on the story behind this on-trend shade.

Caroline Thornborough, Design Director of Thorndown, said: “All of our paint shades are inspired by the beautiful countryside and heritage of the West Country where our factory is based, and Cavepool Grey is no exception.

“The colour is reminiscent of the underground cave pools beneath the Mendips including the most famous of all, Wookey Hole.”

Cavepool Grey Wood Paint made its debut on Thorndown’s bestsellers list in 2020, securing the 16th position among the top 20 2.5-litre paints. The shade has since experienced significant growth in popularity, climbing 10 places to claim the sixth spot in the 2.5-litre category for 2023. Additionally, Cavepool Grey ranked 13th in 750ml sales and fourth in 150ml sample pot sales last year.

Caroline added: “Cavepool Grey’s popularity is no surprise. As homeowners have become increasingly confident in their decors, gone are the days when white or neutral shades were the only options for skirting boards, internal doors and their frames.

“Gardens and outside spaces are echoing this bold new approach to design and Cavepool Grey is a stunning, tranquil choice for garden furniture, fences and outdoor structures.”

For homeowners looking for a cohesive finish, Cavepool Grey features in Thorndown’s first wall paint collection. Now available in a flat matt finish, it can be used on any interior surface.

Cavepool Grey Wood and Wall Paint is available now from Thorndown. It is available in three sizes – 150ml, 750ml and 2.5-litres and prices start at £6 for 150ml.
