A traditional sage green
This rich and traditional green is a cleaned version of a colour originally found in the breakfast room at Calke Abbey. It is best used either on its own on both walls and woodwork, or with a darker neutral like Old White to enhance its deep sage notes.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones
Complementary white: Slipper Satin

I love everything about this paint.
I never write reviews, but went out of my way to come back and leave one for F&B. I didn’t think house paint could really be different but this paint is amazing. Once you find the right color it turns out even better than you thought it would be. Because of the high pigmentation, the color shifts in the light and in photos, making it difficult to photograph but SO GORGEOUS. I also only bought one can for the room I painted hoping I could get away with two coats. Not only did it do three coats there was still a half inch of paint in the bottom of the can when I was done. It never dripped, hardly smelled, and glows in the sunlight. I’ll never buy any other paint.

Beautiful, rich colour
I chose this colour for a small, north-facing bedroom with one small window. I was nervous about going with a dark colour but I wanted to experiment. It took one coat of primer and two coats of paint to cover the previous colour (Ringwold Ground) as the walls are textured. It is absolutely stunning, whether in low light at night or during the day. I used white trim and ceiling (Pointing) and I love it. My husband also loves it. I highly recommend this for a small dark space but make sure to use a primer, unless the walls are already medium green. I've used a lot of F&B paint and I love the colours but it is expensive so it isn't the best choice for everyone.
