Mylands Empire Grey 171 is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sophisticated, classic grey with significant depth for various indoor surfaces. Its formula provides a beautiful, chalky, and balanced aesthetic that pairs exceptionally well with warm whites, though its dead matt finish requires careful handling as it lacks the scrubbability of higher-sheen alternatives.

Yes, it is designed as a multi-surface paint, making it suitable for interior furniture, provided the surface is properly prepared.
No, the dead matt formulation is specifically designed to be non-reflective, providing a flat, velvet-like finish.
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as these can mar the matte finish.
While versatile, this is an interior paint; ensure the area is well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup which can affect any paint finish.
For full colour depth and an even finish, two coats are generally recommended.
Dead matt paints often require two full coats to achieve an even, flat appearance. Apply a second coat after the first has thoroughly dried.
Ensure you are using a high-quality roller nap appropriate for smooth surfaces and maintain a wet edge while painting to prevent drying streaks.
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over glossy surfaces, a light sanding may be required to ensure proper adhesion. For the best results, use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for water-based emulsions. Once painted, avoid cleaning the surface with harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as the dead matt finish can be sensitive to aggressive friction. Gently wiping with a soft, damp cloth is generally sufficient for dusting or minor cleaning. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent the paint from drying out between uses.
