Pink Ground, with its large dose of yellow pigment, now creates the softest blush of colour for a warm and soothing finish that doesn’t feel sugary. Rather than contrasting with a bright white, try pairing with the warmer shade of Great White on the woodwork for a unique look in your home. The Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion Paint is a classic paint choice for walls and ceilings in low-traffic areas. Its matte, chalky finish beautifully hides minor imperfections and creates a rich, deep colour. This distinctive finish scatters light, making the colours appear deeper and more vibrant. The paint is water-based with low VOCs, meaning it has very little odour, making it a healthier choice for your home. Shade: Pink Ground. Size: 5L.
This guide is for anyone looking to use Farrow & Ball Pink Ground paint to add a warm, soothing blush of color to their home. The paint offers a beautiful matte finish that hides imperfections, making it ideal for low-traffic areas.
