Key features
Very matte
Very matte
Estate Emulsion is a very matte finish with a chalky 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 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.

Off black - the perfect dramatic finish for stairs
I recently chose a new stair runner to replace the previous one which had been damaged. I wanted to paint the stairs to a colour that would complement the stair runner and a friend suggested Off-black. I am delighted with the finished look. It’s the perfect dramatic colour but still has a soft and not too harsh feel to it. Just love it - so much so we decided to paint a piece of furniture in the hallway to match.
