  • Washable, wipeable and child safe
  • Eco-friendly, water-based formulation with low VOC content

  • We want you to be satisfied with your colour selection. Not all monitors will display colours the same and paint tins may not show the same colour as your walls do in natural light. We therefore recommend you order a tester pot online or pop in store to pick one up so you are sure that this is the right colour for you

Neutral grey, too cool?

Our entire house is painted in F&B, we love the colours and the quality of the paint, and the service via the website is never in question. We wanted a lighter and brighter colour scheme when repainting our dining room, so after testing many different colour combinations finally opted for Cornforth White for walls, paired with Wevet for the woodwork. A great match on the cards painted with tester pots. Unfortunately when we painted the room we found the combination just too cool and too much of a contrast with the other decor. This is described as a relaxed neutral that will work well with other colours, but we found it just too bland and cool. It's possibly better suited to more contemporary spaces with a lot of natural light, it didn't work in our often shaded room at all. We repainted in Stirabout, with Pointing for the woodwork, which is warmer and more welcoming.

Effortless

Goes on like a dream. I love F&B paint and won't buy any other now.

A gorgeous colour

I love Farrow and Ball modern emulsion anyway so I am always going to be biased. I enjoyed using the paint and the finish I achieved is stunning.

Sarie - 5 / 5 - 19/09/2024

Obsessed.

I love Cornforth White so much - it's the perfect color in my opinion. I wish Farrow & Ball had matching cotton fabrics for all their paint colors and wallpapers.

Great clean look for bathroom and shower room.

The modern emulsion finish and the Cornforth White shade work really well in both our bathroom and shower room, providing a clean look and excellent back drop for the more colourful blinds and tiles.
