Flat Eggshell

A true black that is named after the dark sticky residue of coal tar used in roofing.  

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: Dark Tones

Complementary white: Dimpse
