Features and benefits
- The deepest and richest of our reds, this Baroque colour is named in honor of our original trade name, Preference Paints.

- 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.

My Preference: Red!
I'm going to keep this in my forever file for a delicious dark red to use indoors. The texture is thick and it provides excellent coverage. The sample was a decent size to try over various textures and coatings.

Plan to do three final coats!!!
Having to do three final coats on top of your red-brown primer is not the mark of a quality paint. First time using your paint, and am sorely disappointed with the poor coverage. Gave it three stars due to the fact that after hours and hours of effort it does look beautiful. However, at this price point, it is very disappointing!! Having to prime and do three final coats is something I have never had to contend with in decades of painting. You should consider offering a primer that matches the paint color, not a generic primer that is far too light for this preference red color!!

Great, but better value out there I think
Paint goes on a test, we colour matched an undercoat and it is a really nice finish. I think if you do your room properly, ie sand the walls, get a proper undercoat on (colour matched) first, I don’t really think there is much of a difference between F&B and other paints on the market. Very nice paint but I think I’d find it hard to justify the cost of F&B over other rivals.
