A mid aged green
This calm and muted green is named after the ever changing, subtle colour of creeping algae which ages stone so beautifully. It has a quiet and subtle feel to it, due to its underlying blue tone, and is perfect for use in the garden where it feels totally at one with nature. It works wonderfully as a darker accent to Vert de Terre too.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones
Complementary white: Slipper Satin

Wonderful colour & great quality
I have admired this colour for a long time, having seen it a few times on front doors of some quality homes on my travels. I have recently applied some decorative fencing panels surrounding my garden workshop and just had to use Lichen to repaint the workshop and i am so thrilled that I did.
I also used Downpipe for contrasting trim and ballustrade to the workshop. I intend also to use Lichen on the garage door at the front of the house.
I used the recommended dark tones undercoat as recommended and 2 topcoats of Lichen, and must say that it has to be the finest paint that I have ever used.
I will forward some images when complete, bad weather has interferred with progress I am afraid.

A beautiful cheerful green
We specified Lichen for our recently installed wooden door, with the intention of repainting our garage doors in the same colour. We’ve just finished the project today just before they start on replacing our windows tomorrow! Although we have a lot of Farrow and Ball throughout the house this is the first time I’ve applied it myself. The undercoat and primer went on very easily as did the Exterior Eggshell although completely covering the colour of the undercoat was a challenge even with two coats. The paint was touch dry in about 30 minutes. On a pragmatic note, the drying time of both these paints enable two coats to be applied in a day which is a major step forward from the old oil paints.
