A cool architectural grey
Named after the houses traditionally inhabited by the local lord, Manor House Gray is a definite grey which retains its colour in all lights, especially when contrasted with Wevet. Cooler and cleaner in feel than Charleston Gray, this Architectural Neutral is very popular in hard-edged contemporary homes that are conducive to minimal living and is often used alongside the more dramatic Railings.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones
Complementary white: Pavilion Gray

Real Pure Grey
This is the most gorgeous grey. A "pure, clean" grey - what I mean is it is a very crisp grey colour with no muddy brown-ish tone which many have. It is almost battleship grey. Lovely, and crisp as a colour. Looks completely fabulous against white woodwork and a ceiling painted in Wevet, both in natural and artificial light. It beautifully sets off the crystal wall lights we have put against it. I would gladly use this colour in almost every room of the house and not tire of it. The only slight negative is that it is not quite as dark as we expected, but that is a very small niggle compared to our happiness with the shade.

Fab new stairs!
I used Manor House Grey floor paint on some dodgy pine stairs in our Georgian townhouse and it turned out brilliantly!
My husband couldn't believe the finish, as I did cheat a bit by not sanding that well (!) and not using a primer or undercoat. It was so easy to use and a little goes a long way. I only had to do 2 coats for a fab finish!
The colour came out a lot paler than i thought it would, but I like it a lot. I think if it was any darker, it would have looked too drab in our small hallway.
Can't recommend this product enough, trying to find furniture to paint to use up the rest :)
