Farrow & Ball Shadow White No.282 Dead-Flat Matt Multi-surface Emulsion paint
Couldn't load pickup availability
Shadow White is an off-white with an ever-so-slight hint of grey, creating the impression of a true white used in shade. It's a great alternative to a pure brilliant white, creating a softer and more considered feel, and it sits beautifully alongside the slightly darker Shaded White and slightly lighter School House White to create a calming neutral scheme.
Product information
This zingy yellow has an undeniably nostalgic feel, partly due to its enthusiastic use in decoration in the 1960s, and partly thanks to its namesake, a home-baked favourite that's formed the centrepiece to countless celebrations over the years. Be bold and pair it with St Giles Blue or Charlotte's Locks for a mood-boosting retro look.
- Surface Preparation - Before painting, all surfaces must be cleaned thoroughly and allowed dry fully. For most surfaces we would recommend using a dilute Sugar Soap solution following the manufacturer's instructions. We do not recommend using solvent based cleaning products as these may widely disperse the residue making water-based product application difficult.
