A quiet grey brown
This grey brown classic takes its characterful name from the fawny colour of the British field mouse. Much like its namesake, the green based Mouse’s Back is quiet in nature and feels soft in rooms both large and small. It will read greener when used on the walls of underlit rooms and is the perfect accent on furniture or floors when combined with more traditional shades such as Setting Plaster and Lime White.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones

Be careful when ordering eggshell
We had our kitchen units painted in Farrows Cream, looked beautiful for 12 years and decided on a change. At great expense ordered 'flat eggshell' of this colour and had repainted. Looked fantastic for about a day until we started to note that EVERY time it was touched it left finger marks. If you wiped off it left a wipe mark. Turns out this is not suitable for kitchen units (not sure where it would be ideal - certainly only somewhere no one can touch) and you need satin eggshell. Please don't make this mistake, as it is costing more to put right than to do.
Ironically the colour itself is nice, but does polarise opinion (friends love it or hate it).

Great paint as per usual F&B high standard
As per the Farrow & Ball description this is indeed a quiet paint - the only noise it made was when I screwdrivered the tin open, apart from that, not a dickie bird!
I think drab is a little unfair though - we get a lot of similarly coloured mice running around the garden and not once have I thought to myself 'That mouse has a particularly drab looking back'
Great paint though, the only brand I will even purchase owing to it's great coverage, durability and the excellent service you always get from F&B. I look forward to my next delivery of Clunch, Mizzle and Dead Salmon.
