A dusty plaster pink
This dusty pink is named after the blushing walls we often admire in newly plastered houses. It is definitely a pink in historic terms, but has a certain softness to it due to the inclusion of yellow pigment. Our timeless Setting Plaster creates a wonderful backdrop to antique furniture, and also works incredibly well when paired with Mahogany in a more contemporary home.

1st time with F&B and impressed
This was my first time using F&B paint and I am would certainly consider them again. It smells better, applies better, dries quicker and has a surprisingly better finish than the usual brands I have used before.
I like the colour. It is intriguing, in that it changes tone with conditions; sometimes it is really quite pink, sometimes more muted and neutral, other times it can develop hues of apricot. This fits well with me. Definitely try the tester, as it looks nothing like the picture on the website.
£67 per can is a huge amount, the jury is still out as to whether its three times better than competitors.

Great for bright rooms, not so for mine
I got very excited about purchasing this for my bedroom and when I put the tester on the walls in a bright, sunny day late on a summer afternoon I thought it was perfect - the tone was warmer and more blush than I was expecting but I loved it. However, with the window being West-facing with a lot of the light obscured by neighbouring buildings, the light about 60% of the day time is much cooler and dimmer. And in that light, all of the yellow and even green tones in setting plaster are amplified and the look is just, well dingy. Would be beautiful in a south-facing or overall lighter room but not right for this one.
