Estate Emulsion
As its name suggests, Pink Drab lacks the brightness that can make other pinks appear sugary, resulting in a discreet and charming shade.
Estate Emulsion is a classic choice for low-traffic interior walls and ceilings. Very matt with a distinctive, chalky finish, it minimises imperfections and creates a beautiful depth of colour.
This product is archived and made to order, which means samples aren't available and orders cannot be refunded or returned.
Estate Emulsion is a very matte finish with a chalky 2% sheen.
Our deeper, richer colours are available in a range of finishes with different sheen levels. Sheen always affects how colour appears: the same shade in gloss can look very different in matte. That’s why we specifically adjust the formula for every finish to make sure the balance is exactly right and you get the colour you were expecting. Our colours and finishes are formulated together, so you simply can’t have one without the other.

100% water based
100% water based
We’re proud to have been the first in the industry to transition to a completely water based range back in 2010. As a result, all of our finishes, including our tough trim and floor paints, are made with a low-odour, low-VOC water base that scores A+ for indoor air quality.
Plus, our water based paint doesn’t discolour over time like solvent based paints can. So your spaces stay beautiful for longer.
Toy safe
Toy safe
This finish is independently tested and certified toy-safe in accordance with Safety of Toys Part 3: Migration of certain elements (EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021). That means you can and a splash of colour to toys, cribs and other surfaces little ones come into contact with. Our paints also have hardly any odour and don’t need any solvents to clean up, so you can breathe easy during application and beyond.

Absolutely LOVE this colourWe have F and B all over the house - lots of red based colours - dead salmon, smoked trout, Joa's white etc but couldn't find the right colour for the kitchen until spotted this in the archive. Gorgeous colour sophisticated and warm. Thoroughly recommend.

Nice but unexpectedFor my project, I wanted to use a pink color but none of the current collection's pinks were quite what I was going for. It was suggested to expand my search into the archive colors and I found this color, pink drab. As an archive color, I wasn't able to order a sample pot, but after seeing a few photos of the painted color online, I decided that this was the right color for my project. Sadly for me, after purchasing the paint and applying a large swathe, it was not. Pink drab is rather dark and purple, not the light mauve pictured online. It was my folly. I do love Farrow and Ball paint and have used many of their other colors, but this one won't work for this project. I do wish it were possible to order samples or get a small chart of the archive collection before commiting to the whole gallon.
