COLOR DESCRIPTION

A stony grey-green.

This traditional grey-green represents a stony neutral tone, first used as a color name in the 9th century – an ancient name for a timeless color. Based on the subtly effective green undertones, our Light Gray creates incomparable color depth on walls. As an accent, this grey-green matches all our Traditional Neutrals and harmonizes particularly well with Old White for furniture and carpentry in off-white painted rooms. Light Gray can also be combined with Stiffkey Blue to create a very relaxed, almost mismatched feeling.

Recommended Primer: Mid Tones

HOW MUCH PAINT DO I NEED?

How much Farrow & Ball paint you need depends entirely on the chosen finish. In general, both finishes (both Estate Emulsion and Modern Emulsion) are similar in terms of coverage and color brilliance. However, the following overview is a conservative guideline for the required amount of paint:

Estate Emulsion Finish (1x Coat)

Modern Emulsion Finish (1x Coat)

Finishes

ESTATE EMULSION Finish:

The "Estate Emulsion" wall paint by Farrow & Ball is characterized by a high pigment density. It uses resin, a very high-quality binder 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 traditionally produces and quality-checks all paints in their factory in England. 

MODERN EMULSION Finish:

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