Product Information

Full details

Pleasure Gardens Green No.214 is a sophisticated dark, leafy green paint designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a deep, rich aesthetic with a non-reflective finish. Named after the historic Vauxhall gardens, this hue incorporates subtle undertones of red and violet to create a complex, moody atmosphere in any room. While it provides an exceptional, flat matte appearance, users should note that the Dead Matt finish is best suited for low-traffic areas due to its delicate nature compared to higher-sheen alternatives.

FAQs

Do I really need a primer?

Yes, using our recommended Green Primer and Undercoat is crucial for achieving an even surface, better adhesion, and ensuring the final color looks exactly as intended.

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

The Dead Matt finish is quite porous and delicate. It is generally not recommended for high-moisture or high-grease areas where frequent cleaning is necessary.

Can I use this on wood surfaces?

It is a multi-surface paint, but for wood, ensure the surface is properly sanded and primed with a suitable wood primer to prevent tannins or resins from bleeding through.

How many coats should I apply?

We recommend two full coats for the best color depth and coverage, provided the surface has been correctly primed.

What is the best way to clean marks off Dead Matt paint?

Use a soft, clean cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Gently blot the area; do not rub hard, as this can change the sheen of the matte finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes or roller marks

Ensure you are applying the paint in thin, even layers and maintaining a 'wet edge'. Avoid overworking the paint as it begins to dry.

Uneven finish or 'flashing'

This is often caused by lack of primer. Sand the area lightly, re-apply a coat of Green Primer and Undercoat, and finish with a fresh topcoat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, rich color profile with unique red and violet undertones
  • Flat, non-reflective finish conceals wall surface irregularities
  • High-quality pigment density for better coverage
  • Elegant aesthetic suitable for period properties and modern homes

Cons

  • Dead Matt finish is less resistant to scrubbing than satin or gloss
  • Requires proper primer for maximum adhesion and color trueness
  • Smaller 250ml size is best for samples or touch-ups rather than full-room coverage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with Pleasure Gardens Green No.214, surface preparation is essential. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before painting.

  1. Preparation: Fill any holes or cracks and sand the surface smooth.
  2. Priming: We strongly recommend using a dedicated Green Primer and Undercoat. This balances the surface porosity and significantly improves paint adhesion and color consistency.
  3. Application: Apply using a high-quality roller or brush suitable for matte paints. Two coats are generally recommended for full color saturation.
  4. Care: Because of the flat finish, avoid harsh scrubbing. If the surface needs cleaning, gently wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could burnish or mark the matte surface.
