Soft Distemper
A cool white which is both strong by name and strong by nature.
This traditional distemper has an exquisite, soft, powdery finish and is recommended for very detailed interior plasterwork. Its blend of natural resin and minerals means it can be delicately applied, allowing detail to be preserved on intricate mouldings.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat:White and Light Tones
This traditional delicate distemper has an exquisite, soft, powdery finish and is recommended for very detailed interior plasterwork. 2% sheen.
Our deeper, richer colours are available in a range of finishes with different sheen levels. Sheen always affects how colour appears: the same shade in gloss can look very different in matt. That’s why we specifically adjust the formula for every finish to make sure the balance is exactly right and you get the colour you were expecting. Our colours and finishes are formulated together, so you simply can’t have one without the other.

100% water based
We’re proud to have been the first in the industry to transition to a completely water based range back in 2010. As a result, all of our finishes, including our tough trim and floor paints, are made with a low-odour, low-VOC water base that scores A+ for indoor air quality.
Plus, our water based paint doesn’t discolour over time like solvent based paints can. So your spaces stay beautiful for longer.

A very versatile white, that isn't quite whiteI have done a bedroom and a hallway in Strong White. I've found this colour quite similar to white, but it has enough pigment that when put next to a truly white window frame it makes that frame look nice and clean.
It isn't at all yellow-ish or beige, which I think is very good. The best descriptor might "chalk", perhaps.
The quality of the paint, like other F&B paints, is very good. You can paint it on quite cleanly, and two or occasionally three coats gives a good, solid coverage.

Warm, substantial, no undertonesI used Strong White on the plaster walls of a north-facing prewar apartment. It's a warm, substantial white with no undertones of yellow, blue/green, or violet. Unlike many warm whites, it works well with carrara marble. A pleasure to use, like all F&B paints. It's been a great choice!

The New Dead FlatI was excited to try the new dead flat paint as I always paint my bedrooms one colour. Previously I have needed to buy Emulsion and Eggshell paint, just buying one tin was great. This paint is amazing. After spending what felt like days preparing the room I was amazed with the coverage. The room previously was quite dark so expected to need 3 coats as I was going to a light colour. Just needed 2 coats on everything, ceiling, walls, woodwork and radiator and as always a pleasure to paint with. Absolutely thrilled with the results. Can't wait to start on my next room.

Horse Pleased With ColourI’ve used Farrow and Ball’s many colours throughout my house and been extremely pleased with the result so I thought my Horse , Isabell could have some Farrow and Ball in her stable too. We went for Strong White and I’m pleased with it and so is she. It only took around 45 minutes to paint and just over 30 minutes to dry and as always with Farrow and Ball there’s no awful paint smell.

The perfect light off white!We used this throughout one of our Interior Design projects. Our Client loves the Farrow & Ball colours and wanted something which was a bright off white, without being too grey or beige. It worked perfectly and we were all really pleased with the results.

Great colors and I love the way light reflects itThis is great paint. I’ve painted my entire house in Farrow and Ball. Only issue that I’ve noticed is that areas painted with a brush, like edges, tend to crack. I’m not sure how to overcome this. I’ve accepted it as “that’s just how it is,” but I know it shouldn’t do this. Any ideas?

DisappointingThis is the first time I have used F & B. Disappointed with this colour choice. I am not sure what colour it is as it looks different on every wall and in every room. I thought it would be pale grey,
however,in most areas it looks pale green. It seems to take on the colours around it and does not have a consistent colour of its own. I regret my choice however it is too expensive to change. I have never known a paint to do this. I just could not tell you what colour it is! I did paint a tester on a piece of paper and it looked pale grey. The consistency of the paint and application was good, although I required 3 coats on a white base. Overall disappointed.

Strong white limewash - don’t botherIt doesn’t look any different to white paint once applied. I bought 10L and had this product applied as per the guidelines but no results. Waste of money
