This guide is for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and designers seeking a durable and sophisticated dark green finish for interior and exterior projects. The key benefit is its ultra-durable Flat Eggshell finish, providing protection and color to a wide range of surfaces. A caveat to consider is how the color's appearance can shift significantly depending on lighting conditions and whether it's used indoors or outdoors. This paint is a super-tough, low-sheen finish ideal for wood, metal, and concrete, offering robust protection suitable for high-traffic areas.

It has a low-sheen finish, known as Flat Eggshell, offering a sophisticated, non-glossy appearance.
While it is very durable, Flat Eggshell is best suited for surfaces that don't require frequent washing or exposure to high moisture. For bathrooms, Farrow & Ball's Modern Emulsion or Estate Emulsion may be more appropriate.
Outdoors, Studio Green tends to appear much greener due to natural light. Indoors, especially in less well-lit areas, it can appear almost black. In brightly lit rooms indoors, its green tones will be more apparent.
Typically, Farrow & Ball paints cover approximately 10-12 square meters per liter, but this can vary depending on the surface and application method. Always refer to the specific product tin for exact coverage details.
Yes, for best results and colour accuracy, it is recommended to use Farrow & Ball primers and undercoats suitable for the surface material (wood, metal, plaster, etc.).
Yes, but the surface must be thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and lightly sanded to provide a key for the new paint. A coat of appropriate primer is then recommended.
Yes, its durable and washable finish makes it suitable for children's furniture, provided the surface is properly prepared and primed.
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and properly primed before application. Remove any grease, dirt, or flaking paint. Re-sand and re-prime if necessary.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller, using smooth, even strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage.
Remember that Studio Green's appearance is highly dependent on lighting. Test a small area in the intended location to assess the colour under your specific light conditions before committing to the full project.
Adjust application speed based on temperature and humidity. Avoid painting in extreme conditions. Ensure good ventilation but avoid strong drafts that can cause rapid drying.
Preparation is Key: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand and wipe clean. For bare wood, metal, or concrete, apply the appropriate primer first. Allow primer to dry thoroughly.
Application: Stir the paint well before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Apply two coats for best results, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second. Work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid painting in very damp or humid conditions.
Compatibility: This Flat Eggshell paint is suitable for wood, metal, and concrete surfaces. It is compatible with Farrow & Ball primers and undercoats. Ensure surfaces are suitable for painting; for example, avoid direct application onto very porous or unstable materials without proper preparation and priming.
Care: Clean painted surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent and water, then rinse and wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
