Eco paint specialists Victory Colours might be known for its green credentials but 70 of its colours have now been certified by The Vegan Society.

Great news for those homeowners who are looking to improve their house as 'Veganuary' approaches.

"Our mission from day one was to build a company that delivers amazing paints with fantastic coverage and great pigmentation, but we wanted to ensure our impact on the wider world was positive too."

Victory Colours' collection of paints boasts a technically-advanced formulation which not only offers amazing durability but outstanding resistance to stains – making it the perfect choice in busy households. Opacity is high too, which means less paint is required saving both time and money.

Victory Colours' collection of eco-friendly paints are available now priced at £44.95 for 2.5-litres of matt emulsion. They are available from victorycolours.co.uk.
