You get what you pay for - top quality

Excellent paint, great cover literally does what it says on the tin 😊

Splendid paint colour and fabulously matt

Absolutely love this paint. I have it in the hall and lounge. Love the very subtle lilac hue, barely noticeable. F&B paints are so lovely, hardly any smell. Very Matt

Great quality paint

Love it, lovely colour and fantastic coverage. A higher price point but it requires less coats than some of the other leading brands. Do note that the estate emulsion tester dries lighter than the modern emulsion - I didn't realise this at first but still a lovely deep colour - bonus, it's wipeable, which is needed in our house with our very muddy pup!

Worth every penny

Long lasting quality paint that you can go back to even a couple of years later and it will still look good

Excellent!

Excellent quality as usual from F&B! Beautiful subtle colour, easy to apply with the F&B primer, and very durable.

A chameleon colour.

Wanted a warm, light colour for our ongoing revamp of our bedroom but didn't want white. Skimming Stone is just the perfect colour, by day a warm, creamy colour and by night the most gorgeously warm, very pale grey but this doesn't really do it justice; it seems to subtly change colour all through the day. Love it so much ended up colour drenching the whole room. Goes very well with the Dove Tale and Charleston Gray accessories that I am currently upcycling.

Happy First Time Buyer

Easy to Order, excellent delivery service and my painter said it was a dream to apply, very happy with quality and beautiful colour.
