Farrow & Ball Modern Eggshell has a 40% sheen level, providing a satin finish.
Modern Eggshell is very durable and washable, making it suitable for high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms. However, for walls, consider Farrow & Ball's Estate Emulsion or Modern Emulsion for a more matte finish suitable for walls.
Once fully cured, clean with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
Off-Black is described as a soft black. It has a milder tone compared to stronger blacks and has less of a cool blue undertone, making it more flattering to adjacent colours.
Modern Eggshell is designed for woodwork, metal, and concrete. It's ideal for high-traffic areas like doors, cabinets, floors, and furniture.
The paint is typically touch dry in 2-4 hours and ready for a second coat in 4-6 hours. Full curing can take several weeks.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and prepared. Glossy surfaces may need light sanding. Use an appropriate primer for bare or problematic surfaces.
Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent application speed and direction.
Light conditions significantly affect colour perception. Ensure adequate lighting during application and drying. Consider painting a sample patch first.
Allow the paint to fully cure for at least two weeks before attempting thorough cleaning. Use mild detergents and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive materials.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Prime bare surfaces with an appropriate primer.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior wood, metal, and concrete. Not recommended for use on walls unless specified by Farrow & Ball for a particular finish. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Application: Stir well before use. Apply using a brush or roller. Two coats are typically recommended for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Care: Once fully cured, surfaces painted with Modern Eggshell can be washed with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
