Cornforth White

No.228

An understated grey

Cornforth White is the mid tone in the group of Easy Neutrals which are totally understated and extremely versatile. Neither too warm nor too cool, Cornforth White sits contentedly between Ammonite and Purbeck Stone to create a hushed and calming retreat. Named in memory of John Cornforth, the revered architectural historian, contrast with Wevet to enhance its grey qualities. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White & Light Tones

Complementary white: Wevet

Cornforth White is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 291.

ECO-FRIENDLY AND CHILD-SAFE

Back in 2010, we moved our entire range to an eco-friendly water base that’s low odour, low VOC and child-safe, becoming the first in the industry to do so. Easy to clean without harmful solvents, in tins that can be recycled again and again, our paints help to reduce the environmental impact of redecorating your home.


QUALITY FINISHES

Every one of our paint colours is available in a range of durable interior and exterior paint finishes, each rigorously tested to ensure an exceptional depth of colour and long-lasting finish. For the very best results, we always recommend using a Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat – see above for the correct tone for this colour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Emulsion I’ve ever used I bought this upon recommendation, I gave only ever used Dulux up to this point, I bought the “Modern Emulsion” for my kitchen, the coverage was great, two coats and I’ve never felt paint so smooth and silky, easy to clean leaving no marks at all, very impressed and would highly recommend, service and delivery was great also, well worth the extra price compared to others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use , great coverage My pine kitchen table , chairs and stools looked tired and grubby - so I rubbed them down and painted all the legs and spindle chair backs , polished up the wood tops and with new cushions it looks like a new kitchen . The paint and colour make it look great - so happy with the final look the painted wood has given the dining area

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A classy soft warm grey Bought this for a west facing study and absolutely love it - we wanted a warm neutral which would be a good backdrop for a collection of artwork, it’s a clean and classic colour by day and becomes warm and soft in artificial light. I’ve now done the woodwork in the CW eggshell and very pleased. I bought an edging brush at the same time which was a very worthwhile purchase.
