Excellent paint

Used to decorate newly refurbished (filled / skimmed) walls after removing painted-over wallpaper which damaged the plaster. It applies easily, covers well, and dries to a great finish which masks small imperfections. I used a watered down (50/50) mist coat of trade white emulsion before 2 coats of the Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion.

A sense of summer in our hall. Just as we wanted.

Chose this over Skylight but it was a difficult decision. Just love the colour.

Sample pots helped me determine my colour scheme

The sample pots are just great. I am decorating my whole apartment and by buying the sample pots, I was able to test my colour scheme and how well the colours toned with each other. I am painting my lounge area and guest bedroom in Elephant’s Breath, my hallway in Cromarty and my kitchen and master bedroom in a pale blue. I wasn’t sure whether Borrowed Light or Skylight was the right blue for me. By testing the two from the sample pots, I determined Skylight was the right choice for me and am thrilled with the results. The sample pots are true to colour and really do give a flavour of the end result and assisted me to be confident in my choices. The depth of colour achieved by using Farrow & Ball paint is beyond comparison.

Really brightens even the dullest room

This is a gorgeous shade of blue that lifts a dull room into a light and airy space. We decorated a bedroom that gets sun early morning but is then in the shade. I am amazed at the difference changing the paint colour has made.

Lovely blue

A lovely, pale blue that changes with different lighting. The coverage of the Modern Emulsion is excellent and meets with the approval of our painter and decorator. (Most important!!)

Great Color tones in light

Perfect color for sunroom- beautiful pigments and light makes the color shift into lovely tones. It looks crisp with the white ceiling and trim. It. went on easily and cleaned up easily.
