Mustard Made Colours: All 12 Shades in Real Rooms
Every one of the twelve is a genuinely good answer — which is the only thing that makes choosing tricky. Powder-coated steel holds colour with a depth a paint chip can't, and it shifts with the light through the day, so the shade you pick will look like its own thing in your room.
Below is every colour in the range, along with what we've noticed about each one from having them in our Malvern East showroom — plus the sales data most guides can only guess at.
-
The softest of the warm neutrals. Reads cream indoors, more yellow in strong sun.
-
Off-white. Choose it when you want the shape without the colour.
-
Dusty pink, more grey than sweet. Ages better than people expect in a grown-up room.
-
A true warm red, and the boldest in the range.
-
Deep raspberry. Almost brown in low light, properly pink in daylight.
-
The original, and still the one the brand is known for.
-
Pale grey-green. Shifts between grey, green and almost blue depending on which way the room faces.
Tricky on screen -
Deeper and browner than photos suggest. Noticeably darker in person.
Tricky on screen -
Mid-blue with a green cast.
-
Deep and near-neutral. Behaves like a dark timber in a room.
-
Soft purple-grey, and cooler in person than it photographs.
-
Grey-blue. Moves between grey and blue with the light.

Two things stand out. The top three are all quiet colours — Chalk, Blush and Sage account for 45% of everything we sell, which suggests most people want the shape and the steel more than they want a statement.
Make of that what you will, but don't assume the signature colour is the safe choice.
Sage and Slate, consistently. Both are low-saturation colours where the surrounding light does most of the work. Sage can read grey, green or almost blue depending on whether the room faces north or south. Slate shifts between grey and blue the same way.
Olive is the third. It photographs as a mid-green and is noticeably darker and browner in person.
If you're deciding between any of those three, this is the moment to come and look.
Broadly yes. The core range runs across the Shorty, Skinny, Lowdown, Midi, Standard and Twinny, plus the Story Boards, The Ledge shelves and The Baskets. Availability moves around, so the collection page is the live answer.
