Best of bests
I have been looking for this colour for ages. I have so many different kind of paints that I could open a store. None of them was so excellent like this one. Finally I have what I was looking for ages. Colour is beautiful, one coat was already covered beautifully. The best paint and decision made. Thank you

Excellent qualities and coverage
Bought this paint sample to try in my living room. The coverage was excellent and had a lovely finish. There was enough paint to try on several different walls so that I could see the shade in different lighting. I have now decided on the colour scheme for my decorating.

Neutral grey, too cool?
Our entire house is painted in F&B, we love the colours and the quality of the paint, and the service via the website is never in question. We wanted a lighter and brighter colour scheme when repainting our dining room, so after testing many different colour combinations finally opted for Cornforth White for walls, paired with Wevet for the woodwork. A great match on the cards painted with tester pots. Unfortunately when we painted the room we found the combination just too cool and too much of a contrast with the other decor. This is described as a relaxed neutral that will work well with other colours, but we found it just too bland and cool. It's possibly better suited to more contemporary spaces with a lot of natural light, it didn't work in our often shaded room at all. We repainted in Stirabout, with Pointing for the woodwork, which is warmer and more welcoming.

A gorgeous colour
I love Farrow and Ball modern emulsion anyway so I am always going to be biased. I enjoyed using the paint and the finish I achieved is stunning.

Obsessed.
I love Cornforth White so much - it's the perfect color in my opinion. I wish Farrow & Ball had matching cotton fabrics for all their paint colors and wallpapers.
