In a time before colours could be captured visually through photography, scientists used vivid descriptions to identify them, drawing reference from elements of nature. Werner’s 1814 book of colour charts Nomenclature of Colours, which forms part of the Natural History Museum’s rare books collection, was a pioneering work that visualised colour through the vibrancy of birds and butterflies, the shades of flowers and fruit and the tones of precious gems. This classification of colour helped narrate an age of exploration, allowing Charles Darwin to tell a visual tale of his famous 1830s voyage upon HMS Beagle. It is the richness of both colour and language that has been cherished by naturalists for over two centuries and has inspired The Origins of Colour collection, which reimagines the colours of nature for your home. © The Trustees of the Natural History Museum, London 2026.

Our Stylist Says
I love the Origins of Colour duvet because of its simple, high-quality design that easily elevates a range of bedding styles. The 220 thread count Egyptian cotton ensures a smooth, breathable feel that’s perfect for both cosy winter nights and warmer months. It works well in minimalist interiors with neutral palettes, providing a hint of colour without overwhelming, but can also be layered with textured throws and cushions for a more eclectic look. For practical styling tips, consider pairing it with crisp white linens for a classic vibe or mixing with patterned accessories for visual interest. Its versatile and understated charm makes it a reliable choice for adding comfort and a touch of understated elegance to any bedroom.
