Farrow & Ball Question From Ridiculous Red!
Comments (38)What are you trying to paint, Red? Walls or cabinets? I reread your post, and I think you are talking about walls. I have F&B French Grey on my island cabinets. But, the cabinet man said that cabinets are painted with lacquer. So, I bought a can of the FB French Grey for him to match in lacquer. I don't think you can buy lacquer in paint stores. The cabinet man matched the FB French Grey with no problem. I cannot see any difference, and I am color sensitive. My favorite paint is Donald Kaufmann, and I have tried them all, many times. At times, they (they meaning DK) have sent me a pigment and they specify it to be mixed into Pratt and Lambert paint. So, for paint you can pick up locally, I prefer Pratt and Lambert. I would have them mix the FB match for me if I were not to get the real FB....See MoreProblems with Farrow and Ball Primer Coat
Comments (12)Brushworks, I appreciate your responding. Actually the SW coat went on and seemed to adhere perfectly. Everything looked great until I started with the F&B primer after the followup skimming and resanding. After doing some more researching and talking with the drywall finisher, I think there were several things going on including the dust from that last sanding, fresh drywall for which F&B says to dilute the primer, the temperature was likely mid-fifties or lower with some of the wall maybe even being close to 50F (temp in there now is 61F and it was much cooler that day), and lastly, the F&B primer may not be compatible with the SW latex primer. Is the F&B interior wall and ceiling primer an alkyd? And does putting an alkyd water-based primer over a latex primer cause failure? I've tried sanding and it is not working out very well for me. It is dry as I am getting dust. I've called the drywall finisher and asked him to come back out and skim over the rough areas. After he finishes and I (this time) clean the dust off and make sure the temperature is well above 50F, what primer should I use before putting the F&B primer on to make sure there are no compatibility issues? I have used Zinnser primers (BIN and 123) before and have trust in them and have read that Cover Stain is recommened - would that be the latex or oil-based? I called F&B and they tell me they don't test with other brands and so can't guarantee compatibility. Or should I put a diluted F&B primer coat on the skim-coat areas and then follow up overall with a regular coat? Not all of the wall will have a skim coat on it. Brushworks, Do you think it really was just the dust (and maybe temp) issue and I don't really have to worry about compatibility? Thanks for any and all advice. I really want to avoid messing this up again....See MoreFarrow and Ball - Help
Comments (29)Assuming the colour match is pretty accurate, there isn’t enough difference in Chroma (colourfulness) to make these work well together. Surprisingly, Chantilly Lace will likely come off a little grubby or dirty. I think they will probably just give you SW High Reflective White if it’s available in the sheen you are after, as it’s the closest thing they have to Farrow &Ball All White. So pull a chip of that, next to Chantilly Lace. If you are after very little contrast between walls and cabinetry I would just choose one but in different sheens. They are both very low Chroma, high Value neutrals. I wouldn’t describe either of them as feeling particularly warm though....See MoreSherwin Williams Color similar to Hague Blue No 30 from Farrow and Bal
Comments (12)I have looked at the DNA for Farrow & Ball Hague Blue 30; SW Dark Night (one of my favorites) is very close in all parameters. They are both in the warm Blue Hue Family at 246 degrees on the Color Strategist Color Wheel; they are identical in lightness at 33; they are only different in Chroma with Hague Blue being at a 9 level and Dark Night at 7. They are both at LRV 7. I would suggest SW Dark Night. This is a gorgeous color and I have used it 4 or 5 times recently and everyone loves it. Scared at first but once two coats are up, it is so pretty and goes with most other colors people use it with. SW 6237 Dark Night....See MoreCreative Visual Concepts, Kevin Strader
