Farrow & Ball Ammonite No. 274 is ideal for homeowners and designers seeking a sophisticated, neutral backdrop that works in both heritage and contemporary spaces. This grey paint is celebrated for its balanced, calming undertones that avoid leaning too warm or too cool, providing a versatile finish that pairs well with bright whites; however, its ultra-matte Dead Flat finish requires careful application and maintenance to ensure long-term durability in high-traffic areas.

Ammonite is a perfectly balanced neutral grey. It is designed to be neither explicitly warm nor cool, making it highly adaptable to various room orientations.
While it can be used in hallways, please note that the Dead Flat finish is more delicate than higher-sheen alternatives. It is better suited for low-traffic areas.
If you are painting over a similar color or a properly prepared surface, a primer may not be necessary. However, for porous surfaces or major color changes, a primer is recommended.
As this is a water-based paint, you can clean your brushes using warm, soapy water.
Farrow & Ball recommends pairing Ammonite with 'All White' to help accent and define its soft grey undertones.
Ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and do not over-work the paint once it begins to set.
Thoroughly stir the paint before and during application to ensure pigments are properly dispersed throughout the base.
Before painting, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over a dark color, apply a high-quality primer to ensure the integrity of the grey tone. For best results, use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile microfiber roller. To care for walls painted in Ammonite Dead Flat, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing. If a mark occurs, gently wipe the area with a soft, damp cloth using only water or a very mild, non-abrasive detergent. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from skinning.
