Full details

This 50ml tester pot allows you to observe how the Soft Green chalky emulsion interacts with your room's unique natural and artificial lighting, ensuring a perfect finish.

FAQs

Can I use the tester pot for small craft projects?

Yes, while primarily designed for wall testing, the high-quality emulsion can be used on small decorative items or furniture accents.

How many coats should I apply to the wall?

Two coats are recommended to achieve the true color depth and opacity of the Soft Green paint.

Does this paint require a primer?

It is best to apply over a primed or clean, neutral-colored surface for the most accurate color representation.

Is the finish washable?

The chalky emulsion finish is intended for internal use; while durable, it is best kept in low-traffic areas.

Can I mix this with other colors?

It is not recommended to mix this paint with other brands or types as it may compromise the professional formula and final finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint looks streaky on the wall

Ensure you are using a high-quality brush or mini-roller and apply two thin, even coats rather than one thick coat.

Color looks different than the digital swatch

Digital screens vary in color calibration. Always rely on the physical tester patch in your home's specific lighting to judge the true color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare your wall for the tester, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust. If applying to bare plaster, a light primer is recommended to avoid uneven absorption. Stir the tester pot well before use, as pigments can settle during storage. After testing, reseal the pot tightly if any paint remains, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the emulsion's integrity. Always clean your brushes thoroughly with soap and water immediately after use to prevent paint hardening.
