Flat Eggshell

A rich brown inspired by the warming, versatile spice used in dishes around the world.

Flat Eggshell is our low sheen, super-tough finish for interior wood, metal and concrete. Scrubbable, stain-resistant and scuff-resistant, it’s even tough enough for floors and kitchen cabinets.

This colour is from our Archive. All Archive colours are made to order just for you, so they're non-returnable. To help you pick the perfect shade for your project, you can sample our Archive with paint swatches, exclusively available online.

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Au Lait

Key features

Our flattest interior eggshell

Our flattest interior eggshell

With just a 20% sheen, Flat Eggshell makes an understated statement on skirting boards, stairs and more.

Our deeper, richer colours are available in a range of finishes with different sheen levels. Sheen always affects how colour appears: the same shade in gloss can look very different in matt. That’s why we specifically adjust the formula for every finish to make sure the balance is exactly right and you get the colour you were expecting. Our colours and finishes are formulated together, so you simply can’t have one without the other.

A classic choice

A classic choice

Flat Eggshell brings a timeless look to skirting boards, door frames, windowsills and other trim. The long-lasting formula won’t yellow over time, so your transformation will stay picture perfect for years to come.

Water based

Water based

We’re proud to have been the first in the industry to transition to a completely water based range back in 2010. As a result, all of our finishes, including our tough trim and floor paints, are made with a low-odour, low-VOC water base that scores A+ for indoor air quality. 
 
Plus, our water based paint doesn’t discolour over time like solvent based paints can. So your spaces stay beautiful for longer. 

Toy safe

Toy safe

This finish is independently tested and certified toy-safe in accordance with Safety of Toys Part 3: Migration of certain elements (EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021). That means you can add a splash of colour to toys, cribs and other surfaces little ones come into contact with. Our paints also have hardly any odour and don’t need any solvents to clean up, so you can breathe easy during application and beyond.
