Easy to clean without harmful solvents, in tins that can be recycled again and again, our paints help to reduce the environmental impact of redecorating your home.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautifully calming, just as the wanted... Gosh, I am absolutely delighted with this choice of colour. I contemplated other shades of Farrow and Ball green, but was inspired by a picture I saw online of the designer Luke Edward Hall's hallway and I just knew this was exactly what I was looking for. So, knowing this is an archive colour, I decided to go ahead and use it in an open space (kitchen, dining room and snug.) I am really delighted with the finished results and would buy it again for other spaces. Thank you once again Farrow and Ball.It's wonderful and just as other reviews state; it is exceptionally calming!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gloss Paint Excellent paint as always from F & B, good coverage, minimal runs. Used indoors on radiators, and garage door. The old oil-based gloss was brilliant in more ways than one until the EU banned it. Now we are out of the EU can we have it back?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect hallway green After searching the Internet for the perfect green for my hallway, I came across folly green. The colour was exactly how I envisioned it would look. The paint was thick and the colour rich

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely finish Very pleased with the results although much lighter than I thought it would be. My decorator was reluctant to use it but turned out well even he had to admit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We have lived with this for 14 years... We have lived with this for 14 years across two houses and three redecorations -- using it for interconnecting sitting rooms in a Victorian house. It is a fantastic colour which looks bright in the daytime and cosy in the evening firelight. It casts attractive shadows and there is plenty of depth and complexity to the colour. It is an excellent ground for hanging pictures as well. We use it currently in combination with New White for woodwork including shutters. I think that is too creamy really and would rather have gone for a limier white like Cornforth White. For the second of our three redecorations [an insurance job] they used a non Farrow and Ball version of this mixed at a shop. Now we have the real thing on the walls again I can appreciate how flat and dull it had been looking before. That sounds like an advert I know but it is true.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Would buy again A wonderful, deep, soothing yet cheerful green. I used it in my bedroom. Two coats of eggshell gave excellent coverage on trim. Not too drippy.
