British Colour Standard was revived by art and design duo Jackie Piper and Victoria Whitbread after they discovered an old colour dictionary in a charity shop — and brought its archival shades back to life in candles made the right way. Fair Trade, hand-poured in bold bands of vegetable-origin stearin wax, pure cotton wicks, and ecological dyes. Paraffin-free, non-drip, unscented. The kind of candles that make a table look dressed before a single flame is lit.
A mixed set of six — one of every colorway in the collection — for those who can't choose just one, which seems entirely reasonable. Each candle is hand-poured by artisans in bold bands of archival shades, and together they make a particularly generous gift or a very cheerful drawer of candles. 9.6" tall. Burns 8–9 hours each. Set of 6.
