Ammonite

No.274

A naturally understated grey

Ammonite is named after the treasured fossils often found on the Dorset coast. It has a fantastically understated quality, and sits effortlessly with our Easy Neutrals. Neither too warm nor too cool, its subtle grey tone creates a hushed and calming feel in homes both old and new. Try pairing with All White to accent its light grey feel. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White & Light Tones 

Complementary white: Wevet

Ammonite is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 220.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect colour We were looking for a slightly grey stony colour. Loads of others we had tried were too beige or too pinky grey once we put them on the wall. This is spot on. Exactly the right mixture of grey and stone, very subtle. 2 coats and it looks great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The old rumours are not true! I'd heard that F&B paint was overrated and not worth the money, but I bought a few tester pots because I liked the colour. I Chose one and had the colour made up at a local DIY store (as recommended by a friend), but the paint was awful, and not that much cheaper! In the end, I decided that the F&B tester was so good, I went out and bought F&B paint (and threw the other stuff away). It goes on like butter. F&B have obviously improved the quality of the paint.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing colour! Selecting a colour that would give personality to our house was not easy. After making many, many samples, we found Ammonite from F&B and we fell in love with it. The way the colour changes with the light as the day passes is unbelievable, from a light cooler grey in the morning to a warmer and cosier grey in the evening (our house faces East) and the shine! Oh my god! That subtle shine is amazing. This colour is just perfection. You won’t regret it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Modern emulsion Lovely pale shade of grey . The only problem was ordering on line the website is tricky and only directs you to the tester pots . Manage in the end but had to make 2 calls to helpline and they sent me a link so that I could buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Paint! I love this paint. It is thick, and goes on evenly and smoothly with excellent depth and coverage. Easy to work with. I was decorating two adjoining rooms with it. I was disappointed with the finish of the F&B undercoat I used in the first room, and after reading similar comments on reviews, simply applied two coats of this emulsion in the second. The results were fabtastic- a smooth, deep finish - it's that good!!
