There’s that delicious aroma that wafts from a freshly brewed cup (and helps sell our homes, apparently). The caffeine that kick-starts our day. The range of flavours and preparation methods that allow us to enjoy our personal preference... whether you like yours skinny, flat, black or iced.
Traditional blends have evolved as roasters offer options to satisfy even the pickiest of palates. From single-origin to artisanal blends, today’s exciting techniques include pour-over, bulletproof, AeroPress and even nitrogen-infused, with each one providing a distinct flavour profile. Additionally, coffees infused with notes of chocolate, caramel or exotic spices, are a favourite of aficionados seeking a more indulgent experience.
These days a great coffee shop has become more than just a place to grab a cup of joe; it's an experience in itself. Popping up on every high street in every town, we all have our own version of Central Perk on our doorsteps. The best of these have managed to cultivate an inviting ambiance with the kind of cosy, comfy chairs that invite you to sink into. A knowledgeable barista, passionate about their craft, makes all the difference too.
JK Rowling said: “It’s no secret that the best place to write, in my opinion, is in a café. You don’t have to make your own coffee and you don’t have to feel like you’re in solitary confinement.” And we couldn’t agree more. The bustling atmosphere provides a welcome change from the traditional office, with a steady supply of caffeine to fuel productivity and the opportunity for networking with fellow remote workers.
Coffee shops have long been synonymous with socialising, serving as a meeting place for friends, post school run mums and catching up with clients. Their casual and comfortable environment encourages conversation, while the relaxed atmosphere acts as a catalyst for engaging interactions. With the rise of cosy corners, communal tables and board games, they have evolved into social hubs, fostering connections and creating a sense of community.
A coffee mug is more than, well, just a mug. The one we use each day becomes a familiar and comforting companion, providing a sense of calm and comfort. They reflect our individuality, personality and style, or hold sentimental value as gifts from loved ones. They may be reminders of special occasions and places we've visited. We link them to our favourite rituals, cherished Sunday mornings, chatting with friends, or finding solace when we need to escape.

The Birmingham Colour Palette mug
]]>They all hail from wonderful Suffolk, the latest county to have its very own Colour Palette.
It’s been an absolute delight creating The Suffolk Colour Palette, working with Suffolk Archives and Suffolk County Council for the final design.
The Suffolk Colour Palette features six colourful swatches celebrating all that’s great about the county; famous for its lovely coastal resorts, cultural figures and delightful views (described as God’s Own County by a good friend!).
All the local references on The Suffolk Colour Palette come from suggestions made by residents of the county through social media call-outs and local engagement (thanks so much for taking part!) generated by Suffolk Archives.
The Suffolk Colour Palette features large-format on the front of The Hold in Ipswich – home to the Archives.
The Hold building features six slim vertical floor-to-ceiling windows at the front – just perfect for a splash of Colour Palette art!
And not only does it look great in The Hold windows, it looks just as eye-catching as a tea towel... even the mythical Raedwald himself managed to get his hands on one to take back to Sutton Hoo!
The Suffolk Colour Palette was unveiled on Suffolk Day (June 21) when the county celebrated its rich history with events large and small in towns, cities and on the Suffolk coast.
The Colour Palette is available as prints to frame, greetings cards, mugs and tea towels from the gift store at The Hold.

This got me thinking… for many of us a mug is really much more than just a mug.
A recent survey by Heinz found nearly 60% of us have an “emotional attachment” to a mug, with 40% saying theirs was irreplaceable. Not only that, but one-sixth of those quizzed admitted that they would sulk if someone else even used it.
Psychologists put this down to something called the “the endowment effect”, a tendency for us to overestimate the value of our own possessions, often for sentimental reasons.
For some, it sparks a memory; hence why my poorly pal found comfort in his two-handed cup from when he was a little boy. Added to this, mugs make great gifts and therefore become associated with the person who gave it to us or the occasion it was for.
There’s also a sense of security and calm when we curl up with a cuppa, as well as it being a key part of our routine when we want to relax. Research conducted by Yale and Colorado universities backs this up, as it discovered cradling a hot drink actually generates positive feelings.
Through our own collection of Colour Palette mugs, I have also discovered people love them because they represent their personality or identify a sense of belonging (should I keep quiet at this point about my Birmingham City FC cup?).
Interestingly, The Colour Palette Company bestsellers are Devon, The Black Country, The Peak District, Sheffield, Brighton & Hove, and London. I wonder if that means people in these areas feel a stronger bond to where they live?
I created my first Colour Palette to pay homage to Birmingham’s rich heritage – The Jewellery Quarter, Mr Egg(!), Black Sabbath and so on. I came up with the idea as a way of celebrating the people and places on our doorstep, using gradient colour swatches and warming references to showcase where we are proud to call home
I’ll admit, I never quite expected the idea to be such a massive success – so much so that I have now launched New York and Taste of Italy Colour Palettes. You can shop the complete range online, while the Birmingham Colour Palette mug is available exclusively from Birmingham Museums.
We are always looking to work with new museums and gift shops to produce their own bespoke colour palettes – please get in touch to find out more.

With so many great places to shout about, the Colour Palette design was tweaked to allow for seven colour swatches instead of the usual six, each showcasing a popular heritage site or world-famous location in the seven local authorities that make up the West Midlands.
Each West Midlands Colour Palette print came with an accompanying greetings card to explain more about each reference point.
The West Midlands prints were handed out at the same time as the super-sized Royal Leamington Spa Colour Palettes being installed in the underpass at Leamington Spa rail station.
The seven Leamington Spa palettes will have been seen by thousands of visitors to the town during the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Known as ‘the town in the country’, Solihull is a thriving centre where urban living meets idyllic rural villages packed full of heritage and charm. It has long been recognised as the ‘home of Land Rover’ – a brand synonymous with the colour green – with millions of Land Rovers produced at the Solihull factory since 1948. Visitors to the Jaguar Land Rover Experience today can take a factory tour of the state-of-the-art facilities or jump behind the wheel for a unique off-roading experience.
Nestled in the heart of the Black Country and renowned for its industrial heritage, Sandwell today is a haven of green spaces and award-winning parks. Just west of Birmingham city centre, Sandwell was chosen as the site for a brand-new Aquatics Centre for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. The £73m development, featuring a 50m Olympic-sized swimming pool and 10m diving boards, will be home to all aquatics events at Birmingham 2022.
The UK’s City of Culture 2021, Coventry is a diverse, creative hub with heritage landmarks nestled next to exciting new attractions. The city has been synonymous with the colour blue since it was a centre for the weaving trade in medieval times, when it was famous for cloth dyed a particular shade of blue. Today, the city’s connection to the colour continues with Coventry City Football Club, nicknamed the ‘Sky Blues’ due to the colour of their home strip.
A cultural heartland at the centre of the UK, Birmingham is world-famous for being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and ‘the city of a thousand trades’. Jewellery production was one such trade that boomed in the 18th century and with hundreds of specialist retailers the area still remains the UK’s centre for Jewellery today. Visitors to the city can get a glimpse into the life of a jeweller at the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, a perfectly preserved workshop from 1981.
Steeped in history and packed with heritage attractions, Dudley attracts visitors from all over the world. The town is overlooked by the ruined silhouette of Dudley Castle, an 11th century landmark which today sits within the grounds of Dudley Zoological Gardens. Once a manufacturing powerhouse, Dudley is also home to the Black Country Living Museum boasting 26 acres of reconstructed buildings depicting industrial Britain and filming location to the hit series Peaky Blinders.
Forming part of the famous Black Country, Walsall is a market town with a fascinating past. It is an area famous for its craftsmanship, where metal working flourished and leather making was pioneered, giving Walsall the title of ‘Leather capital of the world’. Located in a beautiful Victorian factory building, visitors can discover more about ‘The Town of 100 Trades’ and the history of leathermaking at the Walsall Leather Museum.
A vibrant city internationally renowned for its world-class sport and culture, Wolverhampton is also home to unique visitor attractions not found anywhere else in the UK. Wightwick Manor and Gardens is one of the few surviving examples of a late Victorian private home furnished under the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement with interiors cloaked in William Morris designs and adorned with Pre-Raphaelite art. The exterior of the manor is equally striking with its ornate barley twist brick chimneys and terracotta brickwork.

]]>The Warwickshire town is packed with glorious architecture, wonderful open spaces and a booming arts and culture scene.
So, what better way to celebrate all this than with seven – yes, seven – super-sized Colour Palettes to welcome visitors at the rail station.
It was an absolute pleasure to create the Royal Leamington Spa Colour Palette on behalf of Warwick District Council, which is now on display to greet passers-by as they arrive by rail.
The Colour Palettes have been shaped by theme – community, sports, entertainment, nature, arts & culture, history and innovation – to allow plenty of space to shout about the great people and places in Leamington Spa.
Large wall mounted panels and anti-graffiti vinyl was selected as a final solution as it provided not only a safe and clean surface on which to install artwork, but it could be re-used in the future for new pieces of work in the space.
We tweaked the title and removed it from the palette design to create an eye-catching header in the centre of the rail station underpass. As you enter the underpass you know instantly what the artworks are all about!
Furthermore, a QR code at the underpass entrance takes people to a web page to explain what each of the swatches refers to, a great resource for people not familiar with Leamington’s history.
The Colour Palette is not designed to be a comprehensive representation of the town’s illustrious history, but it is intended to be a snapshot of how the respondents to the call-out see Royal Leamington Spa in 2022.
The most pleasing aspect of the Royal Leamington Spa Colour Palette is that every local reference was suggested by people from the town through a fascinating community engagement process.
We received hundreds of suggestions for the colourful swatches, which means the palettes truly are owned and shaped by the town.
Art class workshops at local primary schools – hosted by Heart of England Community Rail Partnership – allowed children to think about their local areas and the areas that stand out for them.
Warwick District Council’s Tourism and Culture spokesman Councillor Liam Bartlett said:
“The Royal Leamington Spa Colour Palettes will be a great visual improvement for the gateway into the town. Welcoming visitors and spectators from all over the world during this year’s Commonwealth Games. This piece of public art will showcase what we are proud of in Royal Leamington Spa and provide a fantastic opportunity for the people of the district to be part of this project.”
]]>So, we thought it only right that we update you lovely people with our latest news...
We’ve been busy!
Always top of our to-do list is to create new palette designs for new locations across the country.
We love hearing from people with suggestions for new places to feature and only wish we had time to do more (something we’re looking into).
Please keep the ideas coming – it’s great to hear from you.
One of the most suggested locations for a palette has been for the historic Midlands city of Worcester.
It’s a wonderful, vibrant place, not far from our offices (we’re based in Birmingham) and it’s only right it has its own palette to shout about wonderful Worcester people and places.
The Worcester Colour Palette is a celebration of a city famous for delicious condiments, Elgar’s wonderful music and a beautiful Midlands Cathedral. The Worcester Colour Palette is available as an art print to frame, mug (with a free coffee!), heavyweight cotton tote bag and cotton apron.
We’ve also turned our creative attention north of the border and created a new palette for Glasgow. This was shaped by a great friend who loves and lives in the city and knows everything there is to know about it.
The Glasgow Colour Palette features a vibrant mixture of locations such as Finnieston Crane, the river Clyde, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and more local icons.
Finally, we’re totally in love with our third recent arrival, the Bristol Colour Palette. This, too, was one that featured highly on your suggestions list and, well, who are we to argue?
The Bristol palette features Concorde, the Old Vic Theatre, Brunel and, of course, Banksy. It’s an eclectic collection that makes for a wonderful gradient of swatches.
The three new palettes are already proving popular but if you haven’t seen your palette suggestion mentioned yet, please bear with us, we’re working our way across the UK.
You may have seen the Birmingham Colour Palette mug is available exclusively at the Birmingham Museums online gift shop – the one-stop retail home for local makers and unique Brummie gifts.
We’re so proud to be a part of this mix and delighted our partnership with the Museum has been renewed for another year.
So if you’re looking for the Brummie mug, here’s where you need to go.
Another exciting project that has been keeping us occupied is The Royal Leamington Spa Colour Palette. All seven of them!
This has been a fascinating process with all palettes shaped by suggestions from residents of the Royal town.
The consultation period has now finished and we’re working on the final palettes to feature super-sized in the underpass at Leamington rail station in time for thousands of Commonwealth Games visitors in the summer of 2022.
Colour Palette designer Stacey Barnfield has been visiting schools in Leamington as part of an education project led by Heart of England Community Rail Partnership to encourage schoolchildren to think about colours in their area in art lessons.
It’s been a fantastic project and we can’t wait for all to be revealed!
We’re continuing our partnership with York Museums Trust who commissioned The Colour Palette Company to create a palette for the city to stock in its gift shop at York Art Gallery.
This was great fun to work on (largely because it involved spending time in the city) and we’re delighted to report it is proving popular with more items being reprinted.
Thank you so much for visiting the gallery and buying a card!
Finally, for spring 2022, we’re working with more museums and visitor organisations to create bespoke palettes for gift shops, destination welcome gifts and large-format palettes in centres.
We can’t say too much at the moment as we iron out the details but keep an eye on our social media for announcements.
]]>Our latest Colour Palette is a celebration of the historic city of Worcester, famous for delicious condiments, Elgar’s wonderful music and a beautiful Midlands Cathedral. The Worcester Colour Palette is available as an art print to frame, mug (with a free coffee!), heavyweight cotton tote bag and cotton apron. If you’re not from the fine city, here’s our whistle-stop tour of The Worcester Colour Palette:
Arguably Worcester’s most famous son, composer Sir Edward Elgar was born in Lower Broadheath (his birthplace is now a National Trust property) and he spent his final years at Marl Bank, Worcester. A bronze statue of the composer takes pride of place in Cathedral Square, at the top of the High Street.
Worcestershire sauce was first sold in 1837 by John Wheeley Lea and William Henry Perrins, dispensing chemists from Broad Street, Worcester. It is still produced in the Midland Road factory in Worcester that Lea & Perrins built – the striking gates mirroring the sauce bottle’s distinctive orange label.
Opened by HM The Queen in July 2012, The Hive is a gold-clad building which is home to the City of Worcester public library, the University of Worcester's academic library, Worcestershire Record Office, the county Archive and Worcestershire Archaeology Service.
Built between 1084-1504, Worcester Cathedral overlooks the banks of the River Severn and represents every style of English architecture, from Norman to Perpendicular Gothic. The cathedral is built from a combination of Highley Sandstone and Cotswold Limestone – it’s also the last resting place of King John.
Diglis Lock is the largest and deepest inland lock in England; it is 10m (33ft) wide, 46m (151ft) long and 11m (36ft) deep and is large enough to hold 30 double decker buses.
The black Worcester pear (also known as Parkinson's Warden and the Worcester Black Pear) is a cultivar of the European pear (Pyrus communis), which appears in both the city crest and the badge of Worcestershire County Cricket Club.

]]>Warwick District Council is looking for your suggestions on people, places, objects, or things you associate with Royal Leamington Spa to create seven large-format Colour Palettes.
The information you provide will help shape the development of this eye-catching piece of public art, planned to be installed in the pedestrian underpass at Leamington Spa Station, which will be seen by 1,000s of people during this year’s Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Your suggestions will be used to inform the creation of the palettes, which will showcase what the town has to offer people visiting Royal Leamington Spa, for example, the Royal Pump Rooms, Royal Spa Centre, Jephson Gardens.
Pictured: An artist’s impression of how the Royal Leamington Spa Colour Palettes will look
Councillor Susan Rasmussen, Mayor of Royal Leamington Spa, said: “This project is a celebration of the rich and varied colours of Royal Leamington Spa and our commitment to the creation of exciting community art across our town. It is also an excellent opportunity to engage with and involve residents to find out which local features or folk they think should be included in this artwork at such an important visitor gateway into Royal Leamington Spa.”
Councillor Liam Bartlett, Warwick District Council Portfolio Holder for Culture, Tourism & Leisure, said: “The Royal Leamington Spa Colour Palettes will be a great visual improvement for the gateway into the town. Welcoming visitors and spectators from all over the world during this year’s Commonwealth Games. This piece of public art will showcase what we are proud of in Royal Leamington Spa and provide a fantastic opportunity for the people of the district to be part of this project.”
Colour Palette Company artist Stacey Barnfield said: “The Colour Palette artworks are all about celebrating local; the areas we grew up in, the people who inspire us, the places we love and the buildings we cherish. It’s wonderful that the Royal Leamington Spa Colour Palettes are being shaped by residents of the town and my thanks go out to everyone who submits a suggestion.
To submit your suggestions, complete this short online form by Saturday 12 February 2022.
All submissions will be reviewed by a panel of representatives from Warwick District Council, Royal Leamington Spa Town Council, Warwick District Creative Compact and the artist Stacey Barnfield.
Royal Leamington Spa’s Colour Palettes are planned to be installed before the Games come to the district this July.
This piece of art is being created with funding from Warwick District Council and Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP), with the support of Royal Leamington Spa Town Council, Warwickshire County Council, Network Rail, Warwick District Creative Compact and Heart of England Community Rail Partnership.
Royal Leamington Spa’s Colour Palettes will form part of Warwick District Councils CultureFest, which will showcase and celebrate the incredible arts and heritage venues, artists, and creatives in the area from Saturday 16 July to Sunday 21 August 2022.
Stacey Barnfield is an artist from Birmingham who is developing the colour palette artwork to feature in the pedestrian underpass at Leamington Spa Railway Station. He has developed a similar Birmingham Colour Palette at Grand Central at New Street Station.
The Colour Palette Company has created more than 25 palettes for UK holiday destinations, cities, towns and counties. Among these are Manchester, London, The Peak District, Cornwall, Devon, Edinburgh and Cardiff.

]]>Well, ok, it’s not quite as dramatic as the Viking invasion of York in 866 and more of a polite invitation to collaborate with York Museums Trust, but we like a bit of theatre.
Yes, we’ve created a York Colour Palette to celebrate all that’s great about the historic city and you can find it in the York Art Gallery gift shop.
Our York Colour Palette features local landmarks and special moments about a city with history and heritage like no other. New colourful York art, the palette makes great new home gifts, house warming gifts or new wall art for Yorkshire holiday homes.
From the Roman Empire to Viking settlers, Tudor dynasties and the railway revolution, York has seen it all and the York Colour Palette reflects this with its familiar gradient of six swatches.
We worked with the local team at York Museums Trust to select the six swatches and here they are:
The York Colour Palette has launched exclusively at York Art Gallery’s gift shop as A3 prints, A5 greetings cards, mugs and coasters and will soon go online at thecolourpalettecompany.com
The Colour Palette Company has created palettes for cities across the UK including Birmingham (where it all started!), Manchester, Sheffield and Edinburgh, plus the beautiful counties of Cornwall, Devon and The Peak District.
We also collaborate for exclusive and bespoke colour palettes as gifts, merchandise or large-format installations to brighten shopping centres, large welcome areas and public transport hubs.
Please get in touch through hello@thecolourpalettecompany.com if you’d like to discuss how this works.
]]>SIFA’s Drop-In Centre in the Digbeth area of Birmingham will continue to cater for clients’ essential needs such as hot food, showers and clothing whilst focusing on addressing the factors that cause homelessness on an individual, local and national level. SIFA’s Prevention, Crisis and Resettlement programmes will provide targeted specialist support and stand by those who may otherwise slip through the net while they rebuild their lives with safety and dignity.
The Birmingham Colour Palette’s gradient of vibrant colours and Birmingham references for Old Bus Cream, Mr Egg Yellow and Sabbath Black provided the inspiration for the rebrand colours and the bold colours can be seen among the illustrations and colour scheme for the interior and exterior of the building.
Sales of The Birmingham Colour Palette artwork have raised over £2,500 for SIFA Fireside, as part of a grand total of £4,000 generated by the Draw My City website.
Carly Jones, Chief Executive of SIFA Fireside said: “It’s really important to us that our Drop-In Centre feels like an inclusive environment to everyone. That’s why one of our aims was to make our clients feel that Birmingham is their city and that they are truly a part of it.
“Birmingham has this amazing ability to come together and we see that every single week through the support our clients receive from local people, local businesses and local services. We wanted that same sentiment to be literally written on the walls. I think it’s going to be something really special that needs to be seen.”
]]>The biggest challenge when selecting the local references on each Colour Palette is narrowing it down to just six.
Each area has so many great places and fond memories it makes it tough choosing the final selection.
And this is where we call on local expertise in each of the towns, cities and counties featuring a Colour Palette (always more to come, by the way).
For The Sheffield Colour Palette we asked family members who are proud to call the Steel City home to help steer our selections.
A must-feature for the Sheffield Colour Palette is the recently-closed Cole Brothers department store, a popular feature of Sheffield family life for generations.
We sourced the green swatch direct from this lovely old paper bag, found in the back of a Yorkshire drawer.
It’s a lovely shade of green and makes for the perfect addition to the Sheffield Colour Palette!
