Product Information

Full details

Mylands Amber Grey 156 is an ideal choice for homeowners and designers seeking a sophisticated, historic aesthetic rooted in French-inspired design. This warm, earthy grey provides excellent depth to interior spaces, creating a welcoming and homely atmosphere through its unique blend of yellow and black undertones. While it offers a stunning, non-reflective finish that hides surface imperfections well, the dead matt nature requires careful cleaning as it can be more susceptible to scuffs compared to higher-sheen alternatives.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways?

While it can be used, dead matt finishes are less durable than satin or gloss. It is better suited for living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms.

Can I use this on wood as well as walls?

Yes, as a multi-surface paint, it is designed for versatility, but ensure the wood is properly primed and sanded first.

How many coats are typically required?

For optimal depth and coverage, two coats are usually recommended over a properly prepared surface.

Will the colour change much throughout the day?

Because of its complex yellow and black undertones, the paint will subtly shift in appearance depending on the natural light levels in your room.

How should I clean the brushes after use?

Since Mylands typically uses high-quality water-based formulations, clean your tools thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after application.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and maintaining a 'wet edge'. Avoid over-working the paint once it begins to dry.

Finish looks uneven or patchy

This often indicates a porous surface. Apply a proper base coat or primer to seal the substrate before applying the final coat.

Difficult to remove surface stains

The dead matt finish is porous. Gently blot stains immediately. Avoid heavy pressure, which can burnish the finish and create a shiny spot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated non-reflective dead matt finish
  • Complex, warm neutral undertones
  • High-quality archival colour accuracy
  • Excellent for creating a cozy, homely environment

Cons

  • Dead matt finishes are generally harder to wipe clean
  • May show scuffs more easily in high-traffic areas
  • Smaller 250ml sample size may require additional planning for larger projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with your dead matt finish, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over porous surfaces, use a suitable primer to ensure even coverage. Apply the paint using high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers, maintaining a wet edge to avoid overlapping marks, as dead matt finishes can sometimes show roller drag if not applied smoothly. For care, avoid harsh scrubbing. If a mark occurs, a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water used gently is usually sufficient. Always keep a small amount of leftover paint for touch-ups, as this finish can be difficult to spot-repair once it has aged.
