Tanner's Brown

No.255

A strong dark brown

Our darkest drab is named after the craftsmen who tan the hides and skins used to create leather. Tanner's Brown will read as almost black in lower lighting and is extremely useful to create a slightly softer look when used on the interior of fireplaces. It does, however, become browner in colour within well lit homes and exteriors due to its warm red undertones. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Joa's White

Tanner's Brown is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 44.

ECO-FRIENDLY AND CHILD-SAFE

Back in 2010, we moved our entire range to an eco-friendly water base that’s low odour, low VOC and child-safe, becoming the first in the industry to do so. 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.


QUALITY FINISHES

Every one of our paint colours is available in a range of durable interior and exterior paint finishes, each rigorously tested to ensure an exceptional depth of colour and long-lasting finish. For the very best results, we always recommend using a Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat – see above for the correct tone for this colour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing brand! I have previously painted our staircase in the darkest brown I could find (Conker) which wasn’t actually that dark. Until I found this and knew I had to repaint it all (totally worth it!) The colour is the deepest brown with no weird undertones that I found with other brown paints. It literally looks like dark wood which is just what I wanted and please do not be put off with the price of this small tin! A little definitely goes a long way. I painted a whole staircase, radiator cover, small radiator and a coat hook with it and it’s made the corridor look so much more classy! Definitely recommend!! 5*

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Transformed my furniture I decided to paint my TV stand and Console table in my living room to change it from a pale grey to the Tanners Brown. I used the dark tones under coat as advised on F&B’s website, followed by 2 coats of the Tanners Brown. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious chocolaty briwn Important note, the tester being Matte and the eggshell look very different. The tester looked very dead, a friend said it looked like a dead mousy brown. I had faith in the gloss and am very happy with the result thank you
