The Farrow & Ball Dead Flat Paint in the shade Brinjal is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a high-performance, ultra-matte finish for walls, woodwork, and metal. Its primary benefit lies in its sophisticated, vintage aesthetic paired with surprising durability and scuff resistance, making it suitable for high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways. A primary caveat is that while it is highly versatile, the deep, rich aubergine tone of Brinjal requires proper surface preparation to ensure even color saturation and the desired professional finish.

Yes, the Dead Flat formula is durable and suitable for woodwork, making it a viable option for kitchen cabinetry.
Brinjal is a sophisticated, deep aubergine. It is quite dark and provides a dramatic, moody aesthetic.
While the paint has excellent coverage, we always recommend a Farrow & Ball primer, especially for raw wood or metal, to achieve the best results.
Simply use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area.
This specific paint is designed for interior walls, woodwork, and metal.
Yes, its ultra-matte finish is excellent for ceilings as it minimizes light reflection.
Ensure you are using a high-quality brush or roller and maintain a wet edge to allow the paint to self-level properly.
This is likely due to insufficient surface preparation or an uneven application; apply an additional thin coat to ensure full, uniform coverage.
Ensure the surface was primed correctly and that all previous dirt, grease, or loose debris were thoroughly removed before painting.
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over existing glossy surfaces, light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. For raw woodwork or metal, utilize a suitable Farrow & Ball primer to ensure the best color payoff.
Application can be performed using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller. Due to the high pigment concentration of the Brinjal shade, maintain a "wet edge" while painting to avoid visible lap marks. For maintenance, the finish is designed to be easily wiped down with a soft, damp cloth if marking occurs. Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the paint’s chemical integrity.
