Key features

Matte

Matte

Modern Emulsion is a beautiful, durable matte finish with 7% 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 matte. 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.

For interior walls and ceilings

For interior walls and ceilings

Modern Emulsion is our super-tough, matte finish for interior walls and ceilings. 

From walls, floors and furniture to radiators, skirtings and sheds, our range of paint finishes can help you transform almost any surface in your home (and outside it, too). Browse our full selection of finishes to find the perfect paint for your project.

Best choice for kitchens and bathrooms

Best choice for kitchens and bathrooms

Our expert chemists add a preservative to Modern Emulsion that protects it from mould, keeping moisture-prone kitchens and bathrooms looking fresh. So, although it makes a wonderful addition to every room of your home, it’s the best finish option for these steamy spaces in particular. 

Tough and easy-to-clean

Tough and easy-to-clean

Our super-tough superstar for washable walls, Modern Emulsion has a high-performance formula that makes it easy to wipe away spills and marks – not paint. We use high-quality minerals and strong binders to make sure it’s also resistant to knocks and 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.

From our high-quality ingredients to our artisanal methods, our 100% water based range of finishes and responsible practices, it's about so much more than just paint and paper.

Complementary White

Slipper Satin

Without cool blue undertones, Slipper Satin often reads as a pale grey chalk which makes for a perfect neutral on walls with darker Old White woodwork. Find out more about Slipper Satin

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great colour and excellent quality paint I bought this last week and decorated our bedroom in this colour and it’s lovely. We also had our wardrobes spray painted in the same colour and we love them! I’ve used many brands of paint over the years, this is the first time I’ve used this brand and I wouldn’t go back! Quality of paint is outstanding!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Such a beautiful green! Just finished the guest room. Ceiling in Lime white, woodwork in Tanner’s brown but the star of the room is Breakfast room green. I used the deadflat on all walls, the radiators and even wall outlets! It’s such a beautiful colour: chearful, warming, happy but never too bright or harsh. So so pleased! And deadflat is absolutely my favourite paint!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gorgeous, restful green We chose this for the seating area of our kitchen and it was the perfect choice. A sophisticated, subtle shade that has beautiful variations in the changing light throughout the day, on our east-facing wall by a north-facing window. It's a great backdrop to set off flowers, vases etc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Breakfast room green - Deep flat Deep flat is the best paint finish I have ever used.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Breakfast room green modern emulsion Lovely colour. Went on easily . Very good coverage. Unfortunately tin was delivered bashed and split. On opening box slot of paint spillage.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Lovely colour but not as good as modern emulsion! I'm a regular user of farrow and ball paint, and unfortunately don't feel the dead flat is the same high quality as the modern emulsion. The colour is amazing, but despite using the correct undercoat and stirring the paint adequately the coverage is patchy making it incredibly difficult to touch up any areas without needing to redo the whole wall. The coverage of the modern emulsion is better, but I prefer the matt finish of the dead flat paint. For the price point I'd stick to the modern emulsion.
