A strong and moody yellow
This deep mustard yellow is famously named after the pigment collected from the urine of cows fed on a special diet of mango leaves! It creates a really cosy and surprisingly un-yellow space when contrasted with a dark tone like Tanner's Brown. It should, however, be used in moderation in small rooms where its moody intensity may be a little overwhelming.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones

Lovely colour but very poor coverage - especially the Estate Eggshell
I needed three coats of emulsion to properly cover the walls. The eggshell was almost transparent and was returned for lab testing. They found that it was below the correct and acceptable opacity. The emulsion was at the lower end of acceptable opacity. As these more unusual colours are made up less often and in smaller quantities then perhaps there is more chance of error?
The client was very happy with the final colour and finish and the lack of smell when using F&B products is fantastic. Oil based eggshell paints definitely would leave a better flatter finish but the water based F&B paints are less polluting and easier to clean off.

Absolutely stunning
We recently moved into our first home ...While starting with the paints ...our painters recommended Farrow and ball 's elephant breath for the living room .But since they were going to be expensive He said we could colour match it at Dulux . We went to the manchester store and were stunned at the colours we saw and ended up buying all the paints for the house from here ...and we are so pleased with the results .My favourites are "Indian yellow , elephant breath , Brinjal (as feature wall ) Fawn , and my daughters Cinder rose bedroom :)In the picture is Indian yellow as feature wall with Fawn side walls
