Empire Violet™ No.80

Mylands

£5.75

A regal, jewel-like dark purple of red, umber, and black. This statement hue from the British Colour Council creates both intimacy and drama in any room. Using a primer helps get the most from your paint, it evens surfaces, improves adhesion and ensures a longer-lasting flawless result. We recommend using our Purple Primer and Undercoat with this paint.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as JOHN MYLAND LIMITED, number 00232215. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Your orders are made, packed and shipped with care from our London factory." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
