A deep, dark green
Our darkest green is also the colour painted on the original studio at Farrow & Ball, where many of our very first colours were created. When brushed onto exterior surfaces, the rich pigments respond extraordinarily to all types of light and magically appear much greener than on our colour card. Within the home, this deep hue appears almost black unless in very well lit rooms.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones
Complementary white: Off-White

Poor finish issues with bubbles
We got this Studio Green paint as a recommendation from our Interior designer for our feature bedroom wall. On paper it looked great.
However on application (duly using undercoat and primer) we found the paint left small bubbles all over. The painter did three coats and still could not remove the bubbles from the surface. I can't upload the pictures as the web gateway keeps on crashing (now thrice). Anyway really poor finish quality which we are now stuck with. My interior designer was shocked with the results.
We have been using F&B paints all throughout the house and generally they have worked well but not this time.

Convenient and easy to use.
Used to paint a front door in a hurry, this water based paint allows a couple of coats in a day, something that is advantageous when doing reguarly used doors. Client was happy with the colour. It is easy to paint with and cleans up easily. The trade off with the convenience is that modern water based exterior paints simply don't have the quality of finish that traditional oil based paints have. I don't believe they are as durable either. Having said that , this applies to all manufacturers and not just Farrow and Ball. If speed of job and convenience was a major criteria, I would not hesitate to buy this paint (exterior eggshell) again.
