Neutral Paint
Shop neutral and beige paint from Graham & Brown. Available in a range of different shades, our neutral and beige paint is perfect for refreshing your home.
Neutral paint provides you with a clean, simple and versatile foundation for any décor, whether you’re bringing a tired heritage home back to life or adding a new design element into an up-to-the-minute space. Neutral paints are incredibly flexible, working with both warm and cool tones and perfectly partnering every colour from blue to red, oranges or mustard yellows. You can also introduce them into an earthy palette with complementary colours such as sage green or a vivid chocolate brown.
Neutral paints also bring out the best in subtler tones such as pastel colours or allow the nuances of a bold wall mural or signature wallpaper to come to the fore. Neutral is the quiet yet essential element in a living room, harmonising with your primary colour choice and adding extra layers to your palette to create interest. In a hallway, neutral paint can be the foundation of a striking gallery wall, covered with paintings, cherished photos and wall art that represents your personality. With a range of indoor paints in neutral tones, Graham & Brown paints are suitable for high-temperature and high-humidity environments like kitchens and bathrooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are your paints water or oil based?
Each of our paints are water-based, which means they are all low odour and have a lower VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) level than any oil-based paints. It also means they are extremely quick drying, meaning you can get more out of your project in less time. Volatile Organic Compounds contribute to atmospheric pollution when they evaporate (when the paint dries), and they can be found in chemicals used across many industries such as soaps, building materials, and cleaning products.
What’s the difference between your everyday emulsion and resistance ultra durable matt emulsion?
Our Everyday Emulsion has a slight sheen. Our Resistance Ultra Flatt Matt Durable Emulsion has a 1% sheen level with Class:1 Scrubbable classification. But what does this actually mean? Our Resistance Ultra Durable Matt Emulsion is so tough that it will keep its luxurious flat matt finish even after cleaning. That’s right—no lifting paint, leaving white marks, or burnishing when you clean it. It is brilliant for high traffic areas such as hallways and living rooms because of its durability and resistance to bumps and knocks. Our Everyday Emulsion is more suited to lower traffic areas such as spare bedrooms or studies and is perfect for use on any ceilings. Please note: whilst our paints are dry to the touch within a matter of hours, water-based paints take approximately 28 days to fully cure. This is when the paint is 100% dry and has reached its full hardness/durability. Until the paint has fully cured, it will not withstand knocks or wiping/cleaning.
What finish should I use to paint wood and metal?
We would recommend either our Eggshell or Gloss paint depending on how shiny you want your woodwork or metalwork to be. Both paint finishes are scratch resistant, quick drying, odourless, and have great flow, meaning you don’t need to work hard to achieve that smooth and flawless finish. We’d also recommend using our Primer and Undercoat to ensure a smooth application and that you’re left with the best possible appearance once dry. If you’re after a matt finish on your woodwork (or perhaps your furniture), you can also use our Resistance Ultra Durable Matt Emulsion if you then protect it with a topcoat of varnish or wax.
What samples do you have available?
We offer easy to use Peel & Stick samples in our resistance finish across all of our colours. Alternatively we have 100ml tester pots available in our Everyday Emulsion across select colours. We always recommend sampling a product before purchase as colours can appear differently across screens and devices.
