Blanc De Treillage (G1)

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 delicate traditional distemper with an exquisite soft, powdery finish. Applied in light coats and easily removed, it protects fine detail.
