A soft black with blue undertones
More blue than black, Railings is a softer alternative to black which is particularly suited to the ironwork it takes its name from. When used in Full Gloss on front doors it creates a handsome and commanding entrance, but becomes much more relaxed in feel in our Estate Eggshell finish. The bluer undertones of this dark hue transform rooms into dramatic and enveloping interior spaces.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones
Complementary white: Blackened

Painted my laminate kitchen
I am mega impressed with the finish after deciding to paint my cheap laminate kitchen. The colour is extremely rich. I did use 'dark tones' for undercoat. The finish is in modern eggshell, which is a water based paint. One thing to note, you have to work very quickly especially if it's warm. If you lay off the paint and the other brush strokes had started drying, then you'll be able to see the difference because it's catches the light differently. Best way to solve this is always keep a wet edge when working and never let a edge dry. With it being water based, it does very quickly. Aside from that, you just can't best the depth of colour imo.

Not suitable for kitchen cupboard use
I went to considerable trouble over the prep for our kitchen cupboards, taking all the doors and drawers off, etc, sanding down, using the correct F&B undercoat ... However, although the colour is lovely, the paint isn't at all suitable for kitchen cupboards - it dents back to the light original base if you so much as look at it. It can be difficult to work with, and although it looks great in some respects, it's clearly not going to last even a few months before it looks chipped and poor quality. I won't be using again in a dark shade - it just isn't tough enough, by a long way, which isn't good enough considering the cost!
