Product information
Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion paint is a classic choice for interior walls and ceilings – this tin covers up to 35m² per 2.5 litres on average. Elephant's Breath is instantly recognisable as a Farrow & Ball shade, both in name and colour. It's a universally popular mid-tone grey with a subtle lilac undertone, which comes more to the fore in cooler light. Try it in a scheme alongside the darker Charleston Gray and London Clay for an effortlessly cool look.

Quality paint!
The third tin of this paint and worth every penny as very high quality and covers so we'll. Rich and luxurious paint and leaves a great finish.

Elephants Breath for staircase
Suitable shade for our staircase, just what I was looking for to balance a busy wallpaper. I’m surprised at just how different it looks to the same paint on our kitchen cupboards, both look great, but definitely a reminder to try it in location.

Coordinating gloss
Good gloss finish bear in mind that this paint needs time to harden off between coats and at the end.
