FAQs

What is the coverage of this 100ml sample pot?

The 100ml sample pot covers up to 1m² on average. This is sufficient for creating test swatches on walls.

What type of finish does Estate Emulsion have?

Estate Emulsion has a distinctive chalky, matte finish that is soft and velvety to the touch.

Can I use this paint for a small project like a side table?

While technically possible, Estate Emulsion is primarily formulated for walls and ceilings. Its delicate finish may not be as durable on high-traffic furniture items. For furniture, Farrow & Ball's Modern Emulsion or Eggshell finishes are generally more suitable.

How long does the paint need to dry before I can apply a second coat?

Allow at least 2-4 hours for drying, depending on conditions like temperature and humidity, before applying a second coat or making any assessments.

Is Estate Emulsion washable?

No, Estate Emulsion is not washable. It is designed for its beautiful matte appearance and should be cleaned gently with a dry cloth.

What does 'Purple colour family - Lilac' mean?

This indicates that the paint shade is a form of Lilac, which falls under the broader category of purple colours in Farrow & Ball's colour collections.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy after application.

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly and applied evenly. If the surface was unevenly prepared, this can also cause patchiness. Apply a second coat if necessary, following the drying times.

Colour looks different than expected.

Colours can vary based on lighting conditions, surrounding colours, and surface preparation. Use this sample pot to test in various areas of the room before committing to a larger purchase.

Brush marks are visible.

Use a high-quality brush and apply paint with light, even strokes. Avoid over-brushing. Ensure the paint is not applied too thickly.
