Cabinet Paint Colours & Wood Stains
Hempston is a 100% custom cabinet maker. The colours and stains below are from our signature palette collection — not a fixed catalogue. We can match virtually any paint colour or wood tone you bring to us.
Hand-sprayed conversion finishes for painted cabinetry, and hand-rubbed hardwax-oil stains for solid hardwoods — specified, mixed and applied under one roof.

Bring us a Farrow & Ball, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams or Rubio Monocoat reference — or a paint chip, fabric or memory — and we'll hand-finish a real sample on your chosen wood species so you can approve it in your own light.

A Colour For Every Kind Of Home
Softened whites, earthy neutrals, and saturated heritage tones — a look at our signature paint collection, hand-mixed and hand-sprayed in our finish room. We regularly match Farrow & Ball, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Tonester and custom mixes. Colours shown on screen are a guide; we prepare hand-painted samples before any work begins.
Every painted door is hand-sprayed in a catalysed conversion varnish — a professional-grade finish that resists chipping, yellowing and moisture, in your choice of flat matte, satin or semi-gloss sheen.
A selection from our signature palette — Hempston can match virtually any paint colour or custom mix.
Inset Face Frame
Neutrals on an inset face frame
Hand-sprayed conversion varnish on furniture-grade inset face frames. The door sits flush inside the frame for a tailored, heritage look. Shown below in Tracadie and Vieux-Port Plaster — two of our most-requested neutrals. Any Farrow & Ball, Benjamin Moore or custom colour can be matched on the same construction.

From Raw & Clear To Deep Etna Oak
Hand-rubbed tones inspired by the natural, single-coat hardwax oils popularised by makers like Rubio Monocoat. Shown on white oak — final colour varies with species and grain.
Hardwax oils penetrate the timber rather than sit on top, so the surface reads warm, matte and tactile — and stays spot-repairable for decades of daily use.
