COLOR DESCRIPTION

A deep chocolate brown.

The two-part name combines Salon, the English term for a small parlor (drawing room), and Drab, a term popular among true colorists that simply describes a color lacking luminosity. The depth of this color immediately appeals and creates a classic 19th-century feel in the home, making it the perfect "chocolate color" for a modern look. This warm drab color serves as a dark companion to both yellow and red-based neutrals.

Recommended Primer: Dark Tones

HOW MUCH PAINT DO I NEED?

How much Farrow & Ball paint you need depends entirely on the chosen finish. Generally, both finishes (Estate Emulsion and Modern Emulsion) differ little in terms of opacity and color brilliance. However, the following overview is suitable as a conservative guideline for the required amount of paint:

Estate Emulsion Finish (1 coat)

Modern Emulsion Finish (1 coat)

Finishes

ESTATE EMULSION Finish:

The "Estate Emulsion" wall paint from Farrow & Ball is characterized by a high pigment density. It uses resin, a very high-quality binder that is rarely found in conventional paints.

This results in the paint having a much more intense effect compared to many commercially available wall paints. The high paint quality also leads to extremely high yield. Farrow & Ball has all colors traditionally produced and quality-checked in their factory in England.

MODERN EMULSION Finish:

The "Modern Emulsion" water-based wall paint from Farrow & Ball attracts attention with its high resistance to the challenges of modern life. Stains, abrasions, and marks are no problem for this paint finish. Thus, the Modern Emulsion finish represents a welcome alternative to Estate Emulsion and can ideally be applied in kitchens, children's rooms, and other heavily used areas.
