Primer - Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat Mid Tones

Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat Mid Tones

The official Farrow & Ball primer for walls and ceilings, specially developed for use under Estate Emulsion, Modern Emulsion, and Dead Flat. Made with the same high-quality ingredients and rich pigments as our topcoats: the essential foundation for a uniform, long-lasting finish.

For which colours?

Mid Tones is formulated for mid-range shades. Its pigmentation matches the colour Bone and provides the ideal base for classics such as Pigeon, Oval Room Blue, or Card Room Green. Farrow & Ball recommends the appropriate primer tone for every colour. You can find this on each colour page under “Recommended Primer”.

Application & Surfaces

Suitable for previously painted walls and ceilings, new plaster, plasterboard, lining paper, and filled surfaces. The surface should be clean, dry, and sound. Apply by brush, medium-pile roller, or spray (can be thinned with up to 10% water).

The Farrow & Ball System

One coat of Primer & Undercoat in the recommended tone, followed by two coats of your chosen colour. This creates the full depth of colour and durability for which Farrow & Ball is known.
