A chic red based black
This Georgian inspired red based black creates an intimate feel in super contemporary or bohemian homes, while adding a distinguished look to traditional exteriors. The perfect accent for all our reds and completing our range of blacks, Paean Black conjures up the shade of old leather hymnals and so is named after a song of praise.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

Kitchen revamp
Rather than replace the whole kitchen we decided to paint the cupboards and just change the worktops and sink. This colour (Paean Black) is a really dark , almost black colour with a distinct hint of purple actually. It paints wonderfully and gives great coverage, obviously good quality. When you put the first coat on it looks really purple so hold your nerve as it dries much darker (almost black). We popped on a coat over the top of Matt varnish and hey presto. In terms of price , this was almost twice the amount than a certain on line shop at a cheaper price so definitely buy direct. Really happy with the paint .

Great Colour but needed 4 coats
I purchased the sample pot initially and then purchased a full sized from an independent stockist. I absolutely love the colour, it's rich and adapts perfectly to the changing light throughout the day. I have paired Sulking Room Pink which is a fantastic colour combo for a warm but moody atmosphere.
I had been advised (by the stockist) that if I didn't use a primer I would likely need at least 3 coats if I was painting over white emulsion, we ended up needing 4 coats which was very time consuming and expensive. I would also avoid using masking tape, or at least remove it before the paint dries. We had to patch up a few areas after learning this the hard way.
