Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is Farrow & Ball Dead Flat safe for high-traffic areas?

Yes, it is specifically formulated to be scuff-resistant and durable, making it an excellent choice for hallways and living rooms.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No. Because the Bone shade is part of the Archive collection, every tin is made to order specifically for you and is non-returnable.

Does this paint work on woodwork?

Absolutely, this paint is designed to be used on walls, woodwork, and metal for a uniform aesthetic.

What is the undertone of the Bone shade?

Bone is a stony neutral grey with a subtle touch of green, creating a warmer and softer look than standard cool greys.

How should I clean the walls after painting?

Simply use a clean, soft, damp cloth to wipe away any dust or marks; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the matte finish.

Do I need a primer for this paint?

For best results, especially on raw or porous surfaces, we recommend using a high-quality Farrow & Ball primer to ensure optimal adhesion and finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks

Ensure the surface is properly primed and avoid overworking the paint; use a high-quality synthetic brush to allow the self-leveling formula to work.

Paint not adhering to metal surfaces

Check that the metal was properly degreased and sanded, and ensure a suitable metal primer was applied before the topcoat.

Visible surface imperfections

The ultra-matte finish is very flat; ensure walls are smooth and properly filled before application as the lack of sheen will highlight deep texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, ultra-matte aesthetic that hides minor surface imperfections
  • Extremely versatile for painting walls, wood, and metal
  • Highly durable and resistant to scuffs in busy areas
  • Subtle, timeless color profile that works well with both light and bold palettes

Cons

  • Non-returnable due to the custom-made nature of the Archive collection
  • Requires careful preparation of surfaces to ensure optimal finish
  • Higher initial investment compared to standard wall paints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or flaking paint. For new or porous surfaces, use a recommended Farrow & Ball primer to ensure even adhesion. Apply the paint using high-quality synthetic brushes or a medium-nap roller for the best finish. If painting metal, ensure the surface has been properly sanded and primed with a metal-specific primer first. For care, avoid harsh chemical cleaners; a soft, damp cloth is sufficient to wipe away marks or dust, preserving the longevity of the ultra-matte finish.
