Quality matt paint that covers superbly.
You can't go wrong with F & B paint. The opacity is amazing due to the sheer volume of pigment I think. This particular matt is great for walls with slight imperfections as it disguises them against being highlighted by light. There is an extra matt available too, it would be interesting to try. F & B is expensive but you get the top quality you pay for.

Best of bests
I have been looking for this colour for ages. I have so many different kind of paints that I could open a store. None of them was so excellent like this one. Finally I have what I was looking for ages. Colour is beautiful, one coat was already covered beautifully. The best paint and decision made. Thank 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.

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.

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.
