An understated stone grey
Purbeck Stone is a clean and understated mid grey that resembles the colour of stone found on the Isle of Purbeck, close to our home here in Dorset. Purbeck Stone is the strongest of our Easy Neutrals, sitting contentedly as part of a calming scheme with Cornforth White, Wevet and Ammonite in homes both old and new.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones

Amazing grey with putty undertones
We've recently painted the hallway of our victorian house in this. It looks grey in some areas and putty like upstairs against an oatmeal carpet but grey downstairs against the tiled hall. I thought it might be too dark when I tried the tester but really pleased we went for this over skimming stone. I found ammonite, blackened and Cornforth white all had blue undertones in our hallway but this had none. We've also used this on the woodwork in the sitting room against the walls in stiffkey blue. The woodwork paint looks a much lighter grey than the walls and against the blue is a definite grey with no putty at all. The two rooms link really well.

Lovely colour
I bought 5 L of this paint having tried several paint pots. When I first used it I was worried that it was too dark but now I absolutely love it. It covered a deep cinnamon red with two coats over an intitial white quick coat. F&B paints are always lovely to use. My only criticism is that it is very difficult to choose a shade of a colour. Even in a stockist, the cards bear little relationship to the actual colour. I wish they were laid out / described in a more appropriate way (Dulux do this much better except the portions of colour are so small!). Pint pots are fine but become expensive when a few are purchased over time.
