Modern Eggshell

Our coolest white was historically made with the addition of ‘lamp black’ pigment made from the residue of burnt lamp oil.  

Modern Eggshell is our toughest interior finish, adding lasting colour and protection to interior wood, metal and concrete. It’s even tough enough for floors and kitchen cabinets.

Key features

Mid sheen

Mid sheen

Our super-tough mid shine finish with a 40% 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.

Modern Eggshell is our toughest finish — it’s even suitable for floors. Formulated by our experts using the finest ingredients, it’s washable, wipeable and stands up to scuffs or scrapes.

100% water based

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. 

Toy safe

Toy safe

This finish is independently tested and certified toy-safe in accordance with Safety of Toys Part 3: Migration of certain elements (EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021). That means you can and a splash of colour to toys, cribs and other surfaces little ones come into contact with. Our paints also have hardly any odour and don’t need any solvents to clean up, so you can breathe easy during application and beyond.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Surprise We are doing up an old cottage with tiny windows. The snug had wood chip paper all over painted in a dark red to walls and ceiling with built in bookshelfs stained dark oak. Including fake beams We took it all out, panelled the walls and the ceiling. Blackened to the walls and AllWhite modern eggshell to the new fitted book cases and fake fire surround. Plain white to the ceiling and its fake beams. To our surprise the blackened seems to have a faint blue hinge and the overall effect is soothing. Like with all F&B paints it responds to surrounding colours, the incoming light and obviously your lighting. To me that is it’s beauty

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Dreadful We are redecorating our whole house and bought masses of this gloss hoping to do upstairs and down with it. We have given up. We fully prepared the surfaces to be painted and invested hours not only in prep, but in time spent painting. We did at least three coats, but you wouldn’t know it. Very poor quality paint that doesn’t cover at all well, takes literally weeks to kind-of dry, and just looks a mess. We were faithful F&B customers (for years), but having also had huge problems with both estate and modern emulsion we are never buying it again. Total waste of time and money I’m afraid.
