Crown Paints product and colour guide

Crown Paints is one of the UK’s largest and most successful paint manufacturers, with a history dating back to 1777 in Darwen, Lancashire. Originally known for its rich heritage in high-quality paint production, the brand has evolved from a local family business into a global industry player.

Today, the brand operates primarily within the United Kingdom and Ireland, maintaining significant manufacturing facilities in Darwen and Hull. Crown Paints is known for its innovation in decorative finishes for both retail consumers and professional decorators.

Since 2011, Crown Paints has been a subsidiary of the Hempel Group, a world-leading coatings supplier based in Denmark. This acquisition integrated Crown into a massive international network, providing the brand with extensive research and development resources while maintaining its British identity and manufacturing roots.
