It is a cooler, more weathered version of French Gray and has the same almost magical quality of gently shifting between blue and grey depending on the light and time of day. The Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion Paint is a classic paint choice for walls and ceilings in low-traffic areas. Its matte, chalky finish beautifully hides minor imperfections and creates a rich, deep colour. This distinctive finish scatters light, making the colours appear deeper and more vibrant. The paint is water-based with low VOCs, meaning it has very little odour, making it a healthier choice for your home. Shade: Blue Grey. Size: 5L.
