Shell Paint

Unit price: per

If you’re looking for a ‘white’ paint colour to pair with greys or blues, Shell would be a great choice. It has a softness to it that will, in turn, soften what can otherwise be quite cool colours, and yet it also doesn’t have any of the yellow undertones that would jar in this kind of palette. As part of our Pebble collection, it naturally works perfectly with Shingle, Cobble and Shale, but we’d also use it alongside the colours in the Smoke palette as well as Ink, Navy, Blakeney Blue and Flax Blue from our archive.

Emulsion has a shine-free matt finish.

How to use - primer

Great paintwork starts with a great primer. Ours works as a base coat or wood primer with all our paints - matt emulsion and eggshell. Use it to prep surfaces and it’ll make the end result much better, with a smooth, long lasting finish.

Care

Clean brushes with warm water and soap.  
When painting a space where humidity and temperatures fluctuate, drying times may be longer.  
We recommend purchasing as much paint as you need in one go so it’s from the same batch and keep some spare for touch-ups.  
Colours may vary slightly with each pot – once open, stir thoroughly to ensure the paint is well mixed.  
Recycle the metal tin and plastic handle separately at home.
