FAQs
What is the primary characteristic of Farrow & Ball Bone paint?
Farrow & Ball Bone is a soft and stony grey with a subtle touch of green, offering a timeless and versatile neutral shade.
Can I return Farrow & Ball Bone paint if I change my mind?
No, as Bone is an Archive colour, it is made to order and is therefore non-returnable.
What kind of primer should I use with Farrow & Ball Bone?
The type of primer depends on the surface. Use Farrow & Ball's specialized primers such as Interior Wood Primer & Undercoat, Interior Metal Primer & Undercoat, or Interior Plaster & New Wood Primer & Undercoat.
How many coats of Farrow & Ball Bone are typically needed?
For optimal colour depth and durability, two topcoats of Farrow & Ball paint are generally recommended after proper priming.
How should I clean a wall painted with Farrow & Ball Bone emulsion?
For emulsion finishes, gently wipe with a damp, clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or aggressive scrubbing to protect the paint finish.
How does Bone compare to other Farrow & Ball greys?
Bone is softer than many traditional greys, featuring a distinctive green undertone that prevents it from feeling cold. It is described as softer than Old White.
Can I use Farrow & Ball Bone on exterior surfaces?
Farrow & Ball offers specific exterior paints. While this guide refers to the interior paint, ensure you select the appropriate exterior formulation if painting outdoors.
Troubleshooting
Uneven colour when applying
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply in even coats, working in manageable sections. Check if the correct primer was used and if adequate coats have been applied.
Paint appears too dark or too light
Colour perception is highly dependent on lighting conditions and surrounding colours. Test a sample patch on your wall in different lights before committing. Ensure you are using the correct Farrow & Ball finish, as different finishes can subtly alter colour appearance.
Surface not adhering well
Re-check surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Verify that the correct Farrow & Ball primer was used for the substrate and that it was applied correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Use the appropriate Farrow & Ball primer for your surface type (e.g., Interior Wood Primer & Undercoat, Interior Metal Primer & Undercoat, or Interior Plaster & New Wood Primer & Undercoat). For best results, apply two coats of primer if necessary.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller, following the manufacturer's recommended application methods. Typically, two topcoats of Farrow & Ball paint are recommended for full colour depth and durability.
Compatibility: Farrow & Ball Bone is available in various Farrow & Ball finishes (e.g., Estate Emulsion, Modern Emulsion, Eggshell, Full Gloss). Ensure you select the finish appropriate for your project (e.g., Modern Emulsion for high-traffic areas, Eggshell for woodwork).
Care: To clean surfaces painted with Farrow & Ball emulsion, gently wipe with a damp, clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the paint finish. For Estate Emulsion, a gentler approach with a soft brush or dry cloth is advised.
