A bright avocado green
This fresh avocado green was discovered in an 18th century Georgian farmhouse in Yeabridge, Somerset, when the original gun cupboard was removed. Although untouched for many years, it was still astonishingly bright and reminiscent of the lush grass that surrounds the house. This uncomplicated, clean green sits happily in both contemporary settings and period homes. It has a little more yellow than Breakfast Room Green but a little less than Churlish Green. Pair with Hague Blue to create a truly uplifting interior.

Beautiful period colour and superb finish.
We are renovating an old cottage which has a mural above the fire place dated from around 1740. It was a challenge to find the perfect colour to compliment this feature. I have used Farrow and Ball paints in the past and they are my first port of call when choosing colours. As soon as I saw Yeabridge Green I just knew it would be perfect and it is. I have also used Railings on my exterior doors and windows which looks striking against the red brick. I think I might have set off a bit of a trend here in Suffolk as my decorator has shown pictures of my house to his clients who have since changed their exterior colour choice to Railings.

Disappointingly thin paint
After applying two coats of this paint to a quality undercoat I was shocked to see how easily this paint comes off the walls. When removing the masking tape from the skirting boards it peeled off huge pieces of paint. Just catching it with something like a fingernail instantly takes it off to reveal the undercoat to the point where I am now paranoid about catching the walls with something in case I take the paint off. Washy tape, again don't go there as the paint comes off. I can buy a cheap paint from Wilko's and I don't have this problem. Not sure if all F&B paint is like this but I won't be buying any again and will look for a better alternative when painting the rest of the house.
