A durable paint ideal with kids finger marks.
Having children in our home who love wiping dirty finger prints over all the walls this was just the performance from the paint I wanted and with a Matt finish. Easy application good coverage and fantastic durability.

Philadelphia paint
The paint itself is great. I normally use dulux but decided to try this. Goes on easy needs 2 coats. The colour is nothing like the samples in shop. It’s definitely grey. Hence the 3 stars

Great color
I was afraid it would be too green (looks like that on the label) but it's the perfect light gray I was looking for

TERRIBLE AVOID
Absolutely nothing like the two examples shown when buying

Great coverage
Bought to cover existing dark wall paint - good chalky finish comparable to far more expensive brands. Covered well in 2 coats - very happy with the results!

Grey
The colour is not the same as the photo or the tester pot, looks a stoney shade in pot and photo but is actually grey, like undercoat,

Lovely colour, consistency and good coverage
I painted my living room walls and skirting boards in this colour and I get so many compliments I love it. It’s not particularly scrubbable for greasy type marks.

Great colour, other reviews are correct
1) Colour is more of a smooth pebble kind of grey (darker than the proposed colour), which after putting it on was really nice to look at and I really like it, so I've actually decided to use it throughout the majority of my house. 2) it has great contrast with gloss white features. 3) After buying several tubs over a few months the colour is consistent between batches which is great. 4) Often on sale Exactly as others have said 1) it doesn't wash well when you clean it 2) putting on frog tape will crack/pull the paint off (I had to stop using it for this reason) 3) it doesn't stick great on the first coat of paint so be generous with it and have 2-3 layers. 4) Colours don't match the labels The points above appear to be a trend with ALL the GoodHome paints (I've tried Princeton, Philedelphia, Delamere and Whistler), none of them match their names and you can even point out the other names which look like the actual colours. (Princeton is more charcoal than dark grey, Philedelphia is more stone grey than light grey, Delamere is a blue-grey instead of medium grey and Whistler is like a lavendar-grey instead of off white). After returning what full tubs I had due to not being the colour on the label, the staff at my local branch have also commented that this brand gets alot of refunds due to not matching the same colour compared to other brands!
