Full details

This high-quality paint sample offers excellent coverage and a low VOC formula, providing an accurate representation of both color and finish; however, it is intended strictly for testing purposes and should not be used for final wall coverage.

FAQs

Can I use this tester pot to paint a small piece of furniture?

While it is technically paint, the 100ml size is primarily intended for color testing rather than complete projects.

Is Eddy a standard green?

Eddy is a specific Farrow & Ball signature shade, designed with unique undertones that distinguish it from standard green paints.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Under normal room conditions, the sample should be touch-dry within a few hours, though allow for full curing before finalizing your decision.

Does the finish of the tester pot match the full-size cans?

Yes, the tester pot provides an accurate representation of the color, though full-size tins may come in specific finishes like Modern Eggshell or Distemper.

Are there VOC concerns with this paint?

No, this is a low VOC product, making it safe for indoor sampling even in confined spaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy after application

Apply a second coat once the first is completely dry to ensure uniform color density.

Color looks different than expected

Check the light temperature in the room; move the sample to a different wall to see how surrounding colors influence the appearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for testing how color reacts to natural and artificial light
  • Environmentally conscious low VOC formula
  • High pigmentation provides a realistic finish
  • Easy to apply for quick color assessment

Cons

  • Small volume limited to testing/sampling only
  • Color may vary slightly depending on the application surface
  • Not suitable for full room coverage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the most accurate results, stir the tester pot thoroughly before application, as pigment settling can occur. Apply the paint using a small brush or foam roller to a clean, dry, and dust-free surface. If applying to a dark wall, you may need a primer to get a true reading of the color. Once finished, ensure the lid is replaced securely to prevent the paint from drying out if you intend to compare it against other samples over several days. Keep stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
