Don't click and collect
Covers well and looks good, price is ridiculous though. Click and collect experience at B & Q was really dreadful!

Excellent paint
Used to decorate newly refurbished (filled / skimmed) walls after removing painted-over wallpaper which damaged the plaster. It applies easily, covers well, and dries to a great finish which masks small imperfections. I used a watered down (50/50) mist coat of trade white emulsion before 2 coats of the Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion.

Fabulous colour
Looked up this colour on the F&B website to complement a chimney breast over a dark coloured fireplace. Looks good; paint easy to use; enough to cover an adequate area to assess the colour and it's match.
