This historic tone is named after the chalky pigments used in original distempers.
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.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat:White and Light Tones
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.

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

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).

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.
