Yes, but the really GOOD thing about Farrow and ball is that it LOOKS
really old, but COVERS and LASTS like a modern emulsion.

i.e. no fade etc.

You are welcome to use real ;ead paint if you want, and distemper your
walls with lamp black, ox blood and horse urine if you REALLY want
something that leaves a smudge on your t-shirt for the next 300 years...


ah! I knew that there had to be a downside to these traditional paints.

Not knocking F&B, btw, have heard good things, and intend to try it
sometime.

cheers
