Aged painter - 5 / 5 - 13/11/2024

Lovely shade of blue. Bought as a tester pot.

We chose Borrowed Light over Skylight because it is a lighter blue which suited our hall and stairs. However we did like the colour a lot.

Buy the sample before deciding on final colour

Having painted the sample in the room I was planning to use it in, i decided that it was not the colour I wanted. However, even the samples are a good quality and lovely to work with. I will always try the sample before making final decision as the colours look different in each room due to the lighting and position in the room/pigments in the paint etc. They are expensive but not as expensive as buying a large pot and finding it doesn't work. I do not like decorating but using these paints, which are lovely to use, is a help in the process. They are thick, cover the area well and hide some imperfections. I have only used them on wall or wood.

Perfect blue

Exact color I was looking for. The palest, softest steel blue. Perfect in my bedroom. Tried light blue first, but it was too dark. This one is terrific.

Beautiful colour in dead flat finish

We went for this colour way in the end, in a dead flat finish which looks great. The colour is perfect for the bedroom we’re having decorated. The colour manages to both brighten and calm the room which is just what we wanted. It’s slight darker than Borrowed Light colour way which we have in another bedroom, also a superb colour, very similar palette but different enough

Great paint - don’t use anything else!

Great quality paint. Absolutely worth the price, always. Subtle grey blue. Very happy with it on the bathroom ceiling. Cut above most paint in how it reflects light and changes beautifully throughout the day.

Dead Flat Skylight No.205

the shipping was fast, and the color is beautiful and as advertised, a pale blue grey. our room has low ceilings and odd lighting, so the color actually looks a bit different on each wall depending on the time of day which we love. the quality of paint is undeniable, it mixes easily, and goes on smooth and saturated. no complaints.

Bedroom walls
