COLOR DESCRIPTION

A vibrant blue.

The powerful effect of the walls in the cook's pantry at Calke Abbey is the origin of Cook's Blue. This richly pigmented light blue unfolds its complex effect particularly in outdoor cooking and dining areas, as Cook's Blue is said to deter flies. But this shade also creates a lively atmosphere indoors.

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 opacity and color brilliance. However, the following overview serves as a conservative guideline for the required paint quantity:

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 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 color quality also leads to extremely high coverage. Farrow & Ball traditionally produces all paints in its factory in England and checks their quality.

Modern Emulsion Finish:

The water-based "Modern Emulsion" 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 is a welcome alternative to Estate Emulsion and can ideally be applied in kitchens, children's rooms, and other heavily used areas.
