Off- Black is on point!
Nice black that reminds us of charcoal. All of the black samples we ordered were beautiful! The texture is thick and it provides excellent coverage. The sample was a decent size to try over various textures and coatings.

Touching up existing paint work with new pot
Bought the tester pot to touch up some scuffs on my existing doors and wood panelling I had previously painted in this exact colour … however when it dried the colour didn’t match at all leaving the paintwork looking patchy and horrible - is this normal for the pots to vary in shade this much ?

Difficult paint to work with
Very difficult paint to work with I’m afraid. We are renovating our entire house and have bought paints from several high end brands and this one was not the best by any means. It was difficult to apply, either by brush or roller, and felt tacky even after 24 hours of drying time. We needed to put several coats on to get rid of some patchiness. We have not had any similar problems with the other brands we have used. I’m afraid we will not be using F&B again.

An elegant surprise
What a perfect shade! I’ve painted my wooden floors with it and the transformation has been delightful. The quality of the paint is superb and actually covers more than it states on the tin, making it a better purchase price-wise than other alternatives.
