Modern Eggshell

This fresh and incredibly soft green is reminiscent of the pigment Green Earth.  

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.

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 Obsessed I absolutely love Dead Flat. It’s just as delicious as Estate Emulsion but without the chalkiness so it doesn’t mark as easily. The paint goes on beautifully as always, and I found I didn’t really need a proper second coat. The colour is stunning.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant Product We have used Vert De Terre on a number of occasions for different clients. It truly is a brilliant paint colour and finish to use on tough areas like kitchen cabinets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful color I am painting my kitchen cabinets this color in my loft apartment. It’s lovely color. I would like to paint an accent wall in a separate part of the room. What bold color could be used on a distant wall that would complement this color?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delightful Devon This is a fantastic colour - lighter than Lichen with more vibrancy. Looks good on my front door, on the shiplap on my shed and on a bench.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth it Vert De Terre on the upper kitchen cabinets sets off the stained wood below and creates the kind of soothing, established mood I was looking for. I couldn't resist using Dead Flat on the outside of the cabinets but protected the knobs with a barely there water-based urethane and painted the inside shelves in Vert De Terre eggshell for durability. I wouldn't have tackled a job this big and tedious were it not for Farrow & Ball Dead Flat being such a pleasure to work with, and knowing the end result would be a room with character not just colour. I don't know how Farrow & Ball manages to get atmosphere into a can of paint but I am very glad they do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Front door painted! I tested four colours using sample pots before choosing Vert De Terre; have painted my front door a frame in this gorgeous colour and I have received lots of compliments.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An excellent product Such good paint and the service is excellent also. I love the range of colours and I have found whatever I use the paint for it does a fantastic job, from interior walls and paintwork, kitchen cabinets to exterior painting ~ all superb.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Calm and welcoming Such a calm and lovely colour. Paint went on so easily and the modern emulsion finish gives the wipe ability I want for the kitchen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful natural green Recently redecorated our lounge & dining room in vert de terre, looks suburb a true green, we overpainted skimmed milk white which was a special edition colour but it wasn’t quite right in the rooms. Have to confess to being a F&B fan, with blue grey in the kitchen, blackened in the bathrooms & pointing fingers n the bedrooms. Looking forward to trying the new dead flat finish which is what I need with two labs

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great paint Lovely colour. This is going to be the new colour of our kitchen cupboards.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for the location This stood out for me when choosing a colour for the sitting room in this old house. It is traditional yet warm, with depth, and perfectly complements carpets and furniture. I love it!
Date published: 2023-02-17
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good & Bad I like F&B paint. It is comparatively easy to use and goes a long way. But, it's too expensive and there is surely a market for pots between 0.75 and 2.5 litre.
