Full details

Mylands Pale Lilac No.246 Marble Matt Emulsion is a premium interior paint tailored for homeowners and decorators seeking a sophisticated, early 19th-century aesthetic for their walls and ceilings. This dusty lilac hue offers a fresh, elegant look while remaining subtle enough for versatile use in living rooms, bedrooms, or high-traffic hallways.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it is durable, this is an interior emulsion; check that your bathroom has excellent ventilation to prevent excessive moisture buildup.

Is this paint safe for nurseries?

Yes, its low VOC formulation makes it a popular choice for bedrooms and nurseries.

Do I need a primer?

While it can be applied to many surfaces, using a high-quality primer is recommended for new plaster or significant color changes.

How long does it take to dry?

Typically touch dry within a few hours, but allow for longer curing times before the surface is fully scrubbable.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

No, this Marble Matt Emulsion is designed for walls and ceilings; Mylands offers specific multi-surface eggshell or gloss paints for woodwork.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and do not over-work the paint once it begins to tack.

Paint rubbing off during cleaning

Wait for the full curing time recommended on the tin before washing; ensure you are only using a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

Uneven color or 'flashing'

Ensure the surface is properly primed and sealed before application, as inconsistent porosity can lead to uneven drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, timeless color palette

  • Excellent for hiding surface imperfections
  • Low VOC levels for better indoor air quality
  • Scuff-resistant for high-traffic zones

  • Limited to interior use only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. For the best performance, apply to properly primed interior walls or ceilings. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for emulsion paints. If applying over dark or previously painted surfaces, consider using a compatible primer to ensure color accuracy. After painting, allow the surface to cure fully before attempting to wash or wipe. For routine care, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the matt texture.
