Farrow & Ball Sample Pot - White

Each 100ml sample pot covers up to 1m² on average. This is sufficient for testing colours on a small area of your wall.

While the sample pot is primarily for testing, it can be used for very small decorative projects like painting a single piece of furniture or a small accent area, provided the coverage needs are met.

Seal the lid tightly and store in a cool, dry place, away from frost and direct sunlight. For long-term storage, you can place a piece of cling film over the paint surface before sealing the lid to further prevent drying.

Yes, sample pots are available in every current Farrow & Ball colour, allowing you to test any shade you are interested in.

Apply the paint to a section of your wall (or a large piece of card you can move around) using a brush or small roller. Avoid painting in very thin coats, as this can affect colour perception. Aim for a consistent, solid coat over your test area.

If stored correctly with a tightly sealed lid, the paint can last for several months to a year. However, it's best to use it within a few months for optimal quality and colour consistency.

Colour appearance can be affected by lighting conditions (natural and artificial) and the surface it's applied to. Test the sample in multiple locations and at different times of day. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that the paint was thoroughly stirred.

If difficult to open, use a flat-head screwdriver to gently lever the lid. Ensure the rim is clean before resealing tightly to prevent drying.

Ensure the paint was adequately stirred before application. Apply paint evenly using consistent brush strokes or roller pressure. Check if the underlying surface is smooth and free from imperfections.
