Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best grey paint colour? 

Grey has certainly been enjoying a moment in the spotlight recently. And deservedly so. From crisp and cool to rich and dark, there are so many shades of grey to choose from, meaning there’s sure to be a shade for your space and style. Which one you choose is entirely down to your personal taste. To find the best grey for you, we recommend sampling a few. 

What colour goes best with grey paint?  

Effortlessly versatile, grey paint can complement so many colours. If you’re looking for a white to pair with a particular grey, we recommend a complementary white for all of our colours. Simply take a look at our website to find the recommendation. You’ll also find full colour scheme suggestions for every grey to spark your imagination.  

What effect does grey paint have on a room? 

Different shades of grey will create different moods — some will make a room feel cosy and comforting, while others will make a space feel fresh and bright. When you sit down to choose colours, always consider how you want the space to feel and use that as your starting point.  

Should I paint my whole room grey? 

If you’re looking to paint your whole room grey, there are two paths you could take. One is colour drenching. This is where you take one shade across your walls, woodwork and ceiling, which creates a calm, cocoon of colour and helps hide awkward angles and imperfections.  The other option is to try different tones. Layering different tones of grey can add extra interest to a space but avoids harsh contrasts, creating a curated and sophisticated feel. 

How can I choose the right shade of grey? 

The best way to find the right grey for your project is to sample the shades you like. Paint colours always look different depending on the light and furnishings in a space, so we always recommend trying a sample. 

How do I make sure I get the best finish?  

Quite simply, it’s all in the preparation. Using quality paint and equipment is important but the key to a flawless finish is preparing your surface. We recommend using a Primer & Undercoat to improve adhesion, minimise imperfections and create rich depth of colour.

From forest to sage, emerald to mint, there are a plethora of green shades, all with distinct personalities. So, it’s almost impossible to crown one the ‘best’. We recommend taking your time to explore our greens and seeing how they look in your space to find your favourite. 

What colour goes best with green paint? 

Green is one of those effortlessly versatile colours that seems to complement every other shade. For a serene look, consider pairing green with soft neutrals or for a bold statement, try a navy blue. Of course, pink and green are always firm favourites. Experiment with different combinations to create a look you love. 

What effect does green paint have on a room? 

Green paint can transform a room, but the specific effect will depend on the shade you choose. Lighter greens create a soothing sense of calm, perfect for bedrooms or reading nooks, while dark greens add a touch of drama and sophistication, making them ideal for spaces you use in the evening. 

Should I paint my whole room green? 

It’s entirely up to you! Painting an entire room in a soft, neutral green makes a room feel relaxed and harmonious by removing harsh contrasts between the walls and ceiling. Colour drenching a space with a deep, dark green may seem bold but it creates a calm, inviting feel ideal for bedrooms.  

How can I choose the right shade of green? 

To choose the perfect green for your project, start by considering the space you’re painting, for example the lighting and furniture. Then consider how you want the space to feel and how you plan to use it. Finally, try a few different paint samples and see how they work in the room and how they react to changing light.  

How do I make sure I get the best finish with green paint?  

Achieving a flawless finish is the same for every colour, including green paint. It all comes down to preparation. Clean and prime your walls before painting and your finished look will last longer. We also recommend using quality tools — like Farrow & Ball brushes and rollers. 


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best red paint colour? 

From bold burgundy to tempered terracotta, red paint comes in a variety of shades that all create a different feel. So, finding the ‘best’ red, really means finding the best red for you. To get started, browse a selection of reds and see which ones you feel drawn to.  

What colour goes best with red paint? 

The best colour to complement red, depends on which red you choose and the look you want to create. For a truly classic look, combine a brilliant red or burgundy on the walls with white woodwork. For a softer look, try pairing an earthy red with a Warm Neutral to minimise contrast and create harmony. If you want to create a statement, try experimenting with black, green or pink.

What effect does red paint have on a room? 

With its unrivalled warmth, red paint is a wonderful way to make a room feel cosy. Lighter shades create a relaxed, inviting atmosphere, while deep red hues make an elegant, sophisticated statement. 

Should I paint my whole room red? 

Painting a whole room red may seem bold, but using one shade like this can almost make it act as a neutral. A muted red like Red Earth adds a relaxed feel while a bolder shade like Bamboozle brings energy to your scheme. If you’re unsure, you can always start experimenting in a small space or somewhere you use less often, like a guest bedroom.  

How can I choose the right shade of red? 

Choosing the right red for your room means thinking about how you want the space to feel and how you want to use it. If you want a cosy room you can retreat to in the evening you might want a different red than if you want to create a vibrant, energetic playroom. We always recommend sampling a few shades to see how they look in your light.

How do I make sure I get the best finish with red paint? 

Achieving the best result begins long before you start painting. Firstly, make sure you choose the right finish for the surface, which our finish finder can help with. Then prepare and prime, so that when you do start painting, your chosen finish glides on and stays put. Of course, we always recommend using a quality paint that’s packed with pigment for a rich depth of colour.

Should I paint my whole room pink? 

If you’d like to, of course! Whether you choose a soft, sugary shade, a more neutral tone or a bold hue, colour drenching a room in pink creates an inviting, warm feel. The only thing to consider is which shade to choose based on your light, furnishings and taste, so be sure to try a sample before you pick.

How can I choose the right shade of pink? 

To choose the right shade of pink for your project, start by deciding what mood you want the room to have. It can help to think about how you want to use it. For example, you may want a different feel in a kitchen to a bedroom. A lighter shade will create an open, airy feel, while a deeper hue will feel protective and restful. Once you’ve got an idea, sample a few shades to find your favourite. 

How do I make sure I get the best finish with pink paint? 

Getting the best finish is less to do with your technique, and more to do with your preparation and products.

Using quality paint and tools also makes it much easier to achieve a flawless finish.

What effect does black paint have on a room? 

Black has a wonderful grounding effect, bringing drama and elegance to your space. Depending on the shade, it can feel thoroughly contemporary or charmingly traditional. Black skirting boards with lighter walls can make your space feel bigger and brighter because the walls are the largest surface in your room and feel even lighter in comparison. 

Should I paint my whole room black? 

Painting a whole room black is sure to make a statement. It works particularly well in spaces you retire to in the evening, as it creates a protective, intimate feel that invites you to get comfortable. For a truly luxurious feel, try using Full Gloss. 

How can I choose the right shade of black? 

To find the perfect black for your project, think about the space you’re painting. What is the light like? What furniture do you have? How do you use it? You might want a different black for a south facing kitchen compared to a shady snug. Or perhaps you’re painting your front door or garden fence? All of these different projects lend themselves to different hues and finishes, so explore the options and experiment with samples. 

How do I make sure I get the best finish with black paint? 

Creating a beautiful finish is easier than you might think. It all comes down to preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best brown paint colour? 

Often overlooked, brown is a wonderfully grounding shade. This earthy colour family offers a rich palette of shades that evoke a sense of comfort and warmth. Each shade has its own character and responds differently to light, so choosing the "best" brown depends on what look and feel you want to create. From rich chocolate tones to soft beige hues, our palette offers a selection of shades to add timeless elegance to your space.  

What colour goes best with brown paint? 

A versatile neutral, brown works wonderfully with a variety of colours. From soft whites to deep purples, colour schemes that feature brown are cosy, inviting and sophisticated. You can find recommended pairings, including a complementary white, for each of our browns — simply find the colour on our website or colour card. 

What effect does brown paint have on a room? 

Brown is an inherently comforting colour and brings a soothing sense of security to a space. Depending on the specific shade you choose, it can feel effortlessly sophisticated or add a rustic charm. Rich browns work particularly well in rooms you retire to in the evening, creating an inviting, relaxing atmosphere.  

Should I paint my whole room brown? 

Whether you colour drench your space in one shade or layer a selection of similar tones across different surfaces, painting a whole room brown creates a wonderfully cosy feel. Light brown tones act as neutrals, so these are ideal if you’re looking for a simple, sophisticated scheme. On the other hand, deep, dark shades are irresistibly inviting. So, if you want to paint your whole room brown, we’re right behind you.  

How can I choose the right shade of brown? 

There is no right or wrong shade of brown, there’s only the shade that creates the look you want, and those that don’t. So, to find that shade, you have to decide how you want your finished space to look and feel. If you want an intimate, cosy room you may want a darker brown than if you’d like a soft, open space. Once you’ve decided what you want, sample a few shades to see how they work with your light and furnishings. 

How do I make sure I get the best finish with brown paint? 

We always recommend using a Primer & Undercoat in the correct tone for your topcoat. It’s tempting to skip this step, but preparing your surface creates an even, easy-to-paint canvas and a durable, deep finish. Also, be sure to stir your paint thoroughly before you start — and by thoroughly, we mean for at least a couple of minutes.

It truly is all personal preference. Our palette ranges from jewel tones to pastel hues, so you browse a few to find your favourite.  

What colour goes best with purple paint? 

With its connotations of luxury, purple pairs wonderfully with other jewel tones, like emerald green and deep blue, to create an enchanting, opulent feel.

We have suggested colour combinations on our website and colour card to inspire your imagination.

Should I paint my whole room purple? 

Deciding whether to embrace purple in its entirety depends on your personal taste. You can either choose to colour drench, using the same shade across every surface in the space, or layer similar tones on the walls, ceiling and woodwork. Both ways of decorating create harmonious spaces without harsh contrasts, which can make a room feel bigger and more open.  

How can I choose the right shade of purple? 

Sample, sample, sample. Even if you think you’ve found the perfect purple online or on our colour card, you won’t know for sure until you’ve tried it in your space. Colours always look different depending on their surroundings, like your furniture and lighting. So be sure to try a selection of shades at home before you start painting.

Creating a beautiful finish all starts with your preparation. Make sure to sand, patch and clean the surface you’re painting and then use Primer & Undercoat to create a smooth, easy-to-paint base. It can be tempting to skip these steps, but they are the key to a lasting, colour-rich finish.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best orange paint colour?

With such an array of shades, and the way each one shifts depending on its light and surroundings, we couldn’t possibly pick a “best” orange paint colour. There is no best, only the best for you and your project. From energetic tangerines to calming terracottas, try a few samples to find your favourite.

What colour goes best with orange paint?

You may not think it, but orange is surprisingly versatile. From soft peach to earthy terracotta and even fiery hues, there's an orange shade to complement practically any other colour. On our website you’ll find colour scheme suggestions for all of our oranges, ranging from neutral combinations to vibrant orange and yellow looks.

What effect does orange paint have on a room?

The impact of orange paint depends on the shade you choose. Vibrant oranges can add zesty energy to a space, while softer shades can create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Every orange brings wonderful warmth and cheerful feel, sure to boost your mood.

Should I paint my whole room orange?

The choice is entirely yours. If you love this cheerful hue, embrace it. Orange can seem a bold choice for a whole room but it depends on the shade you choose, as a fresh tangerine will feel very different to a soft peach. We have a variety of finishes for different surfaces, so you can completely drench your space in on shade or layer complementary tones on your trim, walls and ceiling.

How can I choose the right shade of orange?

We always recommend you try a sample to see how a shade looks in your space with your light and furnishings. The orange you adore online, may feel very different on your walls. When you’re picking your samples, consider the undertones of each orange and the feel you want to create because an orange with red undertones will feel warmer, while one with yellow undertones will be more refreshing.

How do I make sure I get the best finish?

Preparation is key! Even with the finest paint and quality equipment, if your surface isn't properly prepared, you won't achieve a flawless finish. We recommend using a Primer & Undercoat to smooth imperfections and ensure lasting, rich colour.

How can I choose the right shade of yellow?
