Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt Emulsion Paint 2.5L - Rosemary Leaf - Green

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and coverage. For significant colour changes or very porous surfaces, a third coat may be beneficial.

While this paint is washable, for areas with high humidity and condensation like bathrooms and kitchens, we generally recommend using paints specifically formulated for these environments, such as Dulux Easycare Bathroom or Kitchen paints, which offer enhanced mould and moisture resistance.

> Info needed: The coverage can vary depending on the surface porosity and application method. Please refer to the product label for specific coverage rates, usually provided in square meters per litre.

Clean all equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear and allow them to dry completely before storing.

It is suitable for most interior wall and ceiling surfaces including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces. Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and sound before painting.

The paint is typically touch dry in 2-4 hours and can be recoated after 4-6 hours. Full hardness and washability are achieved after 7-14 days.

Rosemary Leaf is a versatile muted blue/green. It pairs beautifully with natural wood tones, crisp whites, and soft greys for a serene look. It can also complement deeper blues or earthy greens for a more layered, sophisticated scheme, drawing from its Georgian inspirations.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Apply paint evenly using consistent pressure with your roller or brush, avoiding overloading the tool. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Make sure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply at least two full coats, allowing recommended drying time between each. For significant colour changes or porous surfaces, a primer might be necessary.

Use high-quality brushes and rollers appropriate for emulsion paint. Avoid overworking the paint; apply in even sections and let the paint flow. Maintain a 'wet edge' by working quickly and joining sections before they dry.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure all loose or old flaking paint was removed and the surface was clean, dry, and sound before application. Sanding and priming might be required for optimal adhesion.

Paint colours can vary slightly depending on lighting conditions (natural vs. artificial) and surrounding decor. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first and view it at different times of day to confirm satisfaction. The underlying surface colour can also affect the final shade.
