This Farrow & Ball Modern Eggshell Satin Paint in Cornforth White (5L) is designed for homeowners seeking a durable and beautiful finish for high-traffic interior areas. Its key benefit is providing robust protection against scuffs and stains with a washable, wipeable satin sheen. A potential consideration is that its specific grey tone, while versatile, may require careful color pairing for desired aesthetics.

Modern Eggshell has a 40% sheen level, providing a distinctive mid-sheen finish.
While very durable, Modern Eggshell is primarily intended for walls, woodwork, and metal. For floors, Farrow & Ball typically recommends specific floor paints.
Two coats are generally recommended to achieve the best color depth and durability. However, this can vary depending on the surface and previous color.
Drying times can vary, but typically, it is dry to the touch in 2-4 hours and ready for a second coat after 4-6 hours. Full curing takes several days.
Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild soap and water solution. For tougher marks, a slightly more abrasive sponge can be used gently.
It is suitable for wood, metal, and concrete, making it ideal for interior woodwork, radiators, and high-traffic walls.
Cornforth White is the specific name of the shade, an understated mid-tone grey from Farrow & Ball's palette, known for its versatility.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from grease or dust before application. Check that a suitable primer was used if necessary.
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply in consistent strokes, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Ensure even coats.
While designed for durability, very heavy abrasion may still mark the surface. Ensure proper surface preparation and adequate drying time. Avoid excessive cleaning with abrasive materials.
Preparation is key for optimal performance. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose paint. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand and prime if necessary. This paint is suitable for wood, metal, and concrete.
