FAQs

Is the 100ml pot enough to paint a full wall?

No, the 100ml pot is intended only for testing and sampling purposes.

Does Hopper Head No. 305 work well in small rooms?

Hopper Head is a sophisticated grey that can look stunning in small rooms, but test it first to ensure it does not make the space feel too dark.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

The tester pot is for sampling purposes. For actual projects, ensure you select the appropriate Farrow & Ball finish for high-moisture environments.

How long should I wait for the paint to dry before evaluating it?

Allow the paint to dry for at least 4 hours to ensure the colour has settled to its true final shade.

Is the paint low-VOC?

Yes, this product is formulated with low-VOC content, aligning with Farrow & Ball's environmental standards.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky upon application

Ensure the surface is properly primed and use a high-quality brush or roller to maintain an even coat.

Colour looks different than expected

Colours change significantly with light; observe the swatch at different times of the day and under artificial evening lighting before making a final decision.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for checking colour accuracy in real lighting
  • Environmentally friendly low-VOC formula
  • High-quality pigment consistency
  • Saves money by preventing incorrect full-pot purchases

Cons

  • Small 100ml volume is strictly for testing purposes
  • Requires proper surface preparation for accurate results
  • Drying time may vary based on environmental humidity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before testing, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Apply the paint using a small brush or foam roller to achieve an even coat. Allow the paint to dry completely—usually a few hours—before judging the colour, as wet paint may differ from its final dried state. While this tester is compatible with most interior surfaces, always patch-test on a small, inconspicuous area if you are applying it over existing wallpaper or non-porous materials. Store the tester pot in a cool, dry place if not used immediately, and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the contents from drying out.
