Worth paying a bit extra
Lovely paint. I've used it several times over the years and it never disappoints. Two coat give a lovely, smooth and durable finish.

Elephants Breath for staircase
Suitable shade for our staircase, just what I was looking for to balance a busy wallpaper. I’m surprised at just how different it looks to the same paint on our kitchen cupboards, both look great, but definitely a reminder to try it in location.

Coordinating gloss
Good gloss finish bear in mind that this paint needs time to harden off between coats and at the end.
