A rich teal
This rich teal takes its name from highly decorated traditional horse drawn Romany wagons. Often used in the intricate patterning of these beautifully painted homes, Vardo is so full of life and joy it seemed natural to name it after something renowned for its flamboyant colour. This bright colour works particularly well with reds or dark greys.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Incredible Colour!
I've just finished painting my north facing dining room in Vardo. I deliberated beforehand, concerned that the room would be too dark but then threw caution to the wind and splashed out. So happy I did as this colour changes dramatically in natural, low and artificial light conditions and has a deep vibrancy to create drama.
However, I used the recommended undercoat and bought the recommended quantity, needed three top coats (brush application) to achieve a perfectly matt and even finish and oddly enough still have over half a tin left!
It goes without saying that as with all F & B paints I found the application easy, no drips and I can forgive the extra work as the results are exceptional.

Textural and deep
Have an awkward wall in bedroom as it has a protruding pillar and fireplace. Decided against wallpaper as wanted to blend the wall in and feared even with plain papers joins might show.
Used two dark undercoat and two top coats and I'm surprised by depth of colour and velvety texture. Used the estate paint.
This is a North facing room. The other walls are an existing deluxe paint called chalk burst but I would prefer a contrasting F and B. The paint work is satinwood dulux green earth.
Vardo is dark. It is the perfect teal. I see a very faint green in it and possibly red. It is gorgeous
