“I’m very happy with my choice of paint. The colour is absolutely beautiful. I can see why it was colour of the year.
The paint was nice to work with but did need a few coats to get full saturation of tone. This is to be expected with a dark colour though.
The quality of paint is clear and the saturation of tone is brilliant.”
“I was looking for a deep, luxurious emerald green colour and this has delivered. For reference, this is the first time in my life I have painted a wall and it took me TWO coats with this paint (ordered June 2020). I painted on top of an un-sanded, chalky super-matt white colour that came with the new home I bought with only a basic rub-down the night before with a damp cloth to ensure no dirt and bits.
I'll point out I'm also extremely particular and a perfectionist with high standards, so for any other OCD'ers out there, rest assured this is good stuff. I found the paint very easy to work with, almost no smell at all, good coverage once you get the hang of how it's applying and is also fast drying. I definitely would not recommend adding any water to this personally; it's perfect as it is and when I tried it, it was flying off my roller.
The only thing to be aware of is (likemost dark matt paints) it is easy to get marks on the walls after it's dried (literally the dust and skin from your finger will easily transfer if you catch it, feet/slippers under the desk etc). However, a ringed-out damp microfibre cloth easily deals with most daily marks.
Of course, dark paint like this does hoover up any natural sunlight, so be prepared to invest in good lighting.
Overall 10/10; I'd definitely recommend this paint and Graham & Brown.”
“This colour is beautiful and is exactly what I wanted. However, I echo previous reviews regarding application- a good few layers are needed to achieve full coverage so more paint was needed than I originally planned for.”
“I’m very pleased with the rich, matt colour and depth of this emulsion. The paint is easy to apply - I used a brush - and the coverage achieved with the two coats of undiluted paint I applied is excellent. This paint completed a major renovation project on my house. I would buy it again.”
“Bought Adeline after seeing it on line as one of this years colours. When I opened it I was shocked at the colour as it was nothing like the photo, after 3 coats I think I have now got the ‘Adeline’ colour and I am really pleased, so don’t give up .”
“Only used this for one wall on a bare plaster after a mist coat. It did need 3 coats to cover fully but the final finish is nice. Order came when expected and was enough for the job, the online amount calculator was a useful addition.”
