Farrow & Ball 750ml Flat Eggshell Green Stone No.12

Green Stone is a true Farrow & Ball original, having been one of the first neutrals to feature in the brand's palette. Like French Gray, it was a popular colour in the 18th century and often used on wall panelling. Today, it strikes the perfect balance of elegance and earthiness in any living space.

About Flat Eggshell

750ml of Green Stone No.12 in Farrow & Ball Flat Eggshell, the brand's low-sheen, super-tough finish for interior wood, metal and concrete. At 20% sheen it is their flattest interior eggshell, giving skirting boards, door frames, stairs and kitchen cabinets a soft, classic glow. Scrubbable, stain resistant and scuff resistant, it is even tough enough for floors, and the long-lasting formula won't yellow over time.

Not suitable for exterior decking or pressure-treated wood, floors with frequent vehicle movement, calcium sulphate, anhydrite or hemi-hydrate screeds, or basements and buildings without a functioning damp-proof course and membrane.

Preparation: prime with the right Farrow & Ball primer first: Wood Primer & Undercoat for interior woodwork, Metal Primer & Undercoat for metal, and Masonry & Plaster Stabilising Primer for interior concrete floors and unsound masonry. Cast iron needs a specialist primer. With underfloor heating, switch it off for 48 hours before painting and for 48 hours afterwards. Paint between 10°C and 30°C.

Coverage and drying: up to 12m² per litre per coat, so this 750ml tin covers up to 9m² per coat. Two coats are recommended (darker or stronger colours may need more). Dry in 2 hours and recoat after 4 hours; allow longer in cool or humid conditions, and note that some darker colours take up to 14 days to reach full hardness.

Size: 750ml. Flat Eggshell is available in 750ml, 2.5 litre and 5 litre tins.
