Lovely colour paired with white
Lovely pigment - looks fairly different though in north vs south facing rooms so best to Check

Unjustified Pricing
It’s a great colour, but the cost is not justifiable in my opinion.

Always good coverage
You can think this is expensive paint but given its quality and coverage, and how often you decorate a room, this is well worth it in my opinion given its longevity.

Would highly recommend
Used Drop cloth on panelling in our snug, dining room and kitchen. Beautiful colour and good coverage, mostly only required one coat. Very good finish with just a slight sheen.

Great colour, we've changed our kitchen cabinet colours to Drop Cloth thanks to the sample.

DROP CLOTH IN TWO ROOMS
We used Drop Cloth estate emulsion and estate eggshell in our back porch/ boot room for a colour drenched look and loved it, so when deciding what to use in our hallway and staircase at the front of the house we thought we would use the same colour again on panelling and staircase woodwork. We have Shadow White on the walls and its a suggested colour scheme match - it looks really nice, light and smart. The only thing we find striking is that in our boot room which is south facing the colour has a beautiful rich greenish/greige hue whereas in our hallway which has little natural light the colour presents as a definite absolute grey, albeit a warm one. Light and aspect is everything with these paints!

Cabinet color

Very versatile
I first bought drop cloth to paint doors on an old cabinet I was upcycling, then also used on a radiator, to compliment a scheme I have in my south facing living room of school house white with light blue trim. I’ve now used drop cloth for the trim on my landing, stairs and hallway, which perfectly compliments the green/neutral scheme. Very good application and coverage of other colours
