This tin covers up to 35m² per 2.5 litres on average. Shaded White is a light grey beige that is neither too warm nor too cool. This neutral takes its name from the soft tone created when many of Farrow & Ball's whites are used in deep shade. Shaded White has a gentle greyness, but with none of the cooler tones of Cornforth White, making it incredibly versatile within homes both old and new. It is often used alongside lighter shades such as Pointing or Slipper Satin for a restful space, or paired with Drop Cloth for a wonderfully relaxed feel. 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.
