THE COLOURS
Gillian’s approach to colour is based in the relationship between colour, emotion, and personality, paired with a deep knowledge of pigment and paint depth. This union of intuition and material expertise has led to palettes of exceptional nuance and range.
Featured below are three collections—the Premier Collection, Hollywood Hills, and Golden Hour—each produced by Fine Paints of Europe®, a heritage paint house renowned for its non-fading pigments & endurance, all pigments crafted in the Netherlands, produced in USA.
THE GOLDEN HOUR
The Golden Hour Collection is inspired by the sky as it moves from sundown into twilight—the fleeting moment when light softens and the world exhales. It is a time of warmth and ease, when colour becomes atmospheric and mood gently shifts.
This palette is distinctly Southern Californian. Unlike the deep, saturated sunsets of the East Coast, Los Angeles offers lighter, more ethereal tones—pale golds, soft ambers, and silvery warmth. It is this unique quality of light that drew artists such as David Hockney and Ed Ruscha to make their lives and work here, captivated by a sunlight often likened to that of Provence, France.
Translated into colour, the Golden Hour Collection brings warmth and quiet magic into the home. The palette creates an atmosphere of domesticity, tranquility, and peace—softly illuminated, subtly mysterious, and deeply comforting.
THE PREMIER COLLECTION
The Premier Colour Collection is our foundational palette of 48 full-spectrum colours, composed to address a wide range of emotional and environmental needs. Each hue is calibrated to elicit a specific response, informed by neuroscience and psychology.
Through our Colour Play® methodology, Gillian Rose Colour collaborates with clients and designers to create personalised palettes that shape how spaces are felt—enhancing environments for life, work, and play.
‘You’re the only one applying science to create personalised colour palettes. You are the future, and we want to be with you.’

THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS COLLECTION
The Hollywood Hills Collection was inspired by the dynamic contrast between two distinct personalities. As with many couples, opposites attract—one drawn to warm, gem-like hues, the other soothed by soft, quiet neutrals.
This collection brings those differences into harmony, blending colours that offer both energy and ease. The result is a palette shaped by balance—where contrasting needs for stimulation and calm coexist beautifully.
