Product Information

Full details

Farrow & Ball Dead Flat in All White is an ideal choice for homeowners and designers seeking a pure, pigment-free white that avoids the harsh blue undertones often found in standard bright whites. This paint provides a highly matte, sophisticated finish perfect for walls, woodwork, and metalwork throughout the home. While it offers an incredibly soft and sympathetic aesthetic, it is important to note that the ultra-matte finish requires careful application and maintenance in high-traffic areas compared to higher-sheen alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does All White have blue undertones?

No, All White is a pure white paint containing no other pigments, which prevents the common blue or cold undertones found in many 'brilliant white' products.

Can I use this on radiators?

Yes, Dead Flat is formulated for use on metalwork, including radiators, provided they are cool and primed correctly before application.

Is this paint washable?

While it can be wiped down gently with a damp cloth, the ultra-matte finish is not as durable as eggshell or gloss finishes in high-traffic, high-moisture areas.

What colors pair well with All White?

It pairs seamlessly with Farrow & Ball's Skimming Stone and Strong White for a soft look, or with Pitch Black for a high-contrast, graphic finish.

Do I need a primer?

Yes, for the best results and longevity, always use the recommended Farrow & Ball primer/undercoat suitable for your specific surface material.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or flashing

Ensure the surface was properly primed and that you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting to prevent drying lines.

Paint is scuffing easily

The Dead Flat finish is porous by nature; ensure you have applied the correct number of coats and avoid aggressive cleaning, opting for light dusting or gentle blotting instead.

Poor coverage

Check that the base surface is not significantly darker than the white; apply a high-quality white primer first to ensure full opacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Completely free of blue or yellow undertones
  • Highly matte finish hides wall irregularities
  • Suitable for use on walls, wood, and metal
  • Pairs seamlessly with other Farrow & Ball neutrals like Skimming Stone
  • Provides a sophisticated, soft architectural look

Cons

  • Ultra-matte finish can be more susceptible to scuffing than glossier paints
  • Requires careful preparation of surfaces for best results
  • Limited to a white-only palette
  • Professional application technique recommended for uniform finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best finish, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over existing gloss surfaces, lightly sand the area to provide a key for the paint. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap roller for application. For maintenance, clean surfaces gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water if necessary; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the flat finish. Keep the container sealed tightly when not in use and store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures to preserve the paint's consistency.
