White with the slightest lilac hint
This elegant white is not named after a shark, but simply refers to how wonderful the colour is! Great White appears to be a very pale lilac when contrasted with our All White, making it perfect for children’s bedrooms when wanting to keep a fairly neutral scheme. Despite its red undertone, it is not the warmest of pinks. The inclusion of the merest amount of black lifts it to a wonderfully sophisticated shade with an extraordinary depth of colour.
Available in our brand new Dead Flat finish for walls, woodwork and metal.

Great White - exquisite and tranquil
Just had my hallway walls and ceiling painted in Great White full gloss finish and I could not be happier. The color ranges from creamy white to palest lilac-gray depending on the light - opposite walls will sometimes appear to be two softly contrasting colors. The overall effect is dreamy, tranquil, and timeless. Paired it with Winbourne White on the woodwork for a touch of crispness.
The coverage is excellent and it applies like a dream. My walls were banged up from extensive renovation following water damage throughout the house, so the high gloss finish required extra prep: fills/patching, sanding, and total skimming before priming. Hiring painters experienced in using F&B high gloss made an enormous difference. Odor was manageable with an open window, didn't take long to dissipate.
I've used F&B high gloss finish before and it wears like iron-cladding in terms of protecting your walls and precluding scuffs and stains. Word to the wise: you will not see water stains developing before you see actual water. You won't find any paint more durable. With the appropriate prep and experienced painters, you won't find any more beautiful.
The hallway is facing a room (not visible in the photo) painted entirely in Drawing Room Blue, so the red/purple undertones in Great White are really coming through. In the second photo, all of the walls and ceiling are the same paint, but you can see how the light produces different effects.
