About this finish
Dead Flat 2% sheen · ultra matt
Farrow & Ball's flattest finish, now tough enough to scrub. A chalky, light-softening matt that works across walls, woodwork and metal, so a whole room can be painted in one finish.
Best for
Walls, ceilings, skirting, doors and radiators where you want a completely flat, colour-drenched look.
Modern Emulsion 7% sheen · washable matt
A durable matt with a whisper of sheen. Washable and stain resistant, so everyday marks and splashes wipe away.
Best for
Kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, stairs and children's rooms: busy walls that need cleaning.
Estate Emulsion 2% sheen · chalky matt
The classic Farrow & Ball look: a soft, chalky finish that gives colour real depth and changes beautifully with the light.
Best for
Walls and ceilings in quieter rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms.
Wipeable rather than scrubbable. For high-traffic rooms, choose Modern Emulsion.
Modern Eggshell 40% sheen · mid sheen
A tough, scrubbable water-based eggshell with a noticeable soft shine. Stain resistant and hard-wearing.
Best for
Interior woodwork and metal: doors, skirting, banisters, radiators, kitchen cabinets and even floors.
Flat Eggshell 20% sheen · low sheen
Farrow & Ball's flattest interior eggshell. Super tough, stain resistant and scrubbable to the highest rating, with a subtle low sheen.
Best for
Skirting, door frames, windowsills, stairs and kitchen cabinets, plus concrete and wooden floors.
Full Gloss 95% sheen · high gloss
Farrow & Ball's highest shine. A water-based gloss that is hard-wearing and adds a glamorous, reflective finish.
Best for
Front doors, railings and trim, inside or out. Also striking on interior walls and ceilings.
Exterior Eggshell 20% sheen · exterior
A durable, flexible finish that protects outdoor wood and metal against the weather while keeping rich colour.
Best for
Window frames, doors, fences, sheds, garden furniture and metalwork.
Exterior Masonry 2% sheen · exterior matt
A long-lasting, super matt finish for outside walls that resists weathering while staying flat in appearance.
Best for
Render, brick, stone and pebbledash on house walls and garden walls.
Casein Distemper 2% sheen · breathable matt
A strengthened traditional distemper with a very flat finish and a breathable structure, so moisture can escape.
Best for
Plastered walls and ceilings in older homes and low-traffic rooms.
Not washable. Best suited to period properties and specialist decorators.
Soft Distemper 2% sheen · powdery matt
A delicate traditional distemper with an exquisite soft, powdery finish. Applied in light coats and easily removed, it protects fine detail.
Best for
Ornate ceilings, cornices and detailed interior plasterwork.
Not washable and not for walls that get touched.
Limewash Mineral finish · chalky
A traditional lime-based finish that dries to a soft, mottled, chalky look full of character. Very breathable.

Exterior and interior lime render, stone, brick and lime plaster, especially on period buildings.

We absolutely love Farrow and Ball paint, it applies so well although two coats are required in most areas. It is great how they choose a white to go with the colour you choose and they compliment.t each other so well. We moved house 3 months ago and were keen to get away from all the white/cream/beige everywhere and add a bit of colour. Having used Farrow and Ball for years now, we chose a sample pot, painted a small strip of lining paper and lived how it looked. The Calke green dead flat looks fantastic and I would highly recommend the colour to anyone. We have the setting plaster F&B indoor bedroom and that too makes the room look great. We have also used Old School white and Dimity paints, all great.
Customer loved this Caulk Green teamed with Shadow White Estate Emulsion. Colours work well together.
After 25 years my cream kitchen needed a refresh, the layout and structure is perfect for my needs and the quality of the original build meant there was no need to replace. Using Caulk Green and Beverly to create a ‘shadow effect’ the results are stunning.
I only ordered 2.5 litre tin and was easily able to roller 3 coats on all 4 walls. Delighted by colour, already chosen the next colour for my bedroom
