Little Greene Rolling Fog Light 271 Paint

It’s easy to see why Absolute Matt Emulsion paint is Little Greene’s most well loved. It certainly lives up to its name; it’s absolutely matt, with a chalky finish that has the lowest sheen (3%) of all their paints. Great for interior walls and ceilings in low traffic areas, it’s water based, certified as Child Safe for use in children’s rooms, pet friendly, very low odour, quick drying, manufactured in the UK and low VOC. The paint’s high pigment content gives it a fabulous depth of colour, so you need fewer coats to get your perfect finish. The ultimate go-to paint for stylish, contemporary walls, completely sheen free. As ever from Little Greene, the paint goes on easily and you get a good, even coverage. Absolute Matt is available in all of Little Greene’s gorgeous and extensive colour palette.

Quick tip: If you’re painting walls where there’s high traffic, like children’s bedrooms, landings  or hallways, we’d recommend you use the Intelligent Matt Emulsion, which is also low sheen (5%), but you can wash it clean with soapy water.

With Little Greene’s Intelligent Matt Emulsion you get the best of both worlds; a washable  paint, with a lovely low sheen of just 2%. We’d suggest this Intelligent Matt Emulsion rather than the Absolute Matt for rooms where there’s a fair amount of coming and going, like children’s bedrooms, landings and hallways.

It’s a breathable paint ideally suited to porous stone and lime rendered exterior surfaces.

For older buildings, we’d recommend Limewash for the external surfaces  and Distemper for internal.
