Eight house colours we keep on hand. Tap one. The whole page takes the mood, and the room repaints to match.
Now showing — Verdigris No. 4
A drawing room in aged copper-green — the colour of a Fitzroy terrace that has earned it.
Six things we do, and how we do them. No upselling, no surprises — a flat wall and a clean edge are most of a good finish.
Walls, ceilings, trims and doors taken back, prepped and recoated in low-VOC paint. Furniture wrapped, floors covered, edges cut by hand.
Specimen 01Render, brick and weatherboard prepped, sealed and topcoated to hold up to a Melbourne winter. Gutters and fascias included where they need it.
Specimen 02Period homes in Carlton and Fitzroy colour-matched to the original scheme. We strip back lead-era layers safely and restore the detail, not bury it.
Specimen 03Settlement cracks, water damage and tired cornices made good before a brush touches them. A flat wall is most of a good finish.
Specimen 04Tile and metal roofs cleaned, re-bedded, primed and coated. Honest assessment first — we'll tell you if a paint job is the wrong call.
Specimen 05Shops, offices and common-property repaints scheduled around your trading and tenants. Out of hours when it has to be.
Specimen 06A few we've hung up. Real rooms, real edges — the proof a colour was chosen well and laid down properly.
Five things you can hold us to on every job — written down, not just said on the doorstep.

× Pigment & Co — how it works
This site catches the eye. BackOnTools catches the call you can't: it answers in your voice, books the job, and drops it in your pocket before you've put the tools down.
Your site, built around your jobs — half price when it’s on a BackOnTools number.
Tell us about the rooms. We'll come and look, then send a fixed quote — no guesswork, no surprises on the invoice.
This whole library — the swatches, the rooms, the names, the photos — was mixed by Maison Turco as a demonstration, and paired with BackOnTools, the AI receptionist that answers tradies' calls. There is no Pigment & Co taking bookings. We built it in a few days to show a painting firm what its website could look like: the kind that makes a homeowner in Kew trust you before you've quoted.
If you run a real painting or decorating business, we'll build you the genuine article — your work, your colours, your suburbs, your name on the door. A site that looks like the quality you actually deliver, with BackOnTools picking up every call behind it. The craft on this page is real. The company is not. Yours could be.
