Resistance Matt Emulsion: A Richly Matte, Scrubbable Paint, Mixed to Order

Resistance takes its name from its resilience, but it’s the finish people notice first. With an exceptionally low 1% sheen, it’s one of the flattest, mattest paints available, and that ultra-flat quality is exactly what gives it such depth. Color reads beautifully across a matt surface ~ soft, almost velvety ~ drawing the eye into the shade rather than reflecting the light back. The result is a refined, contemporary finish that feels considered in any room.

A truly matte finish is often the hardest to keep looking its best. This is where Resistance comes into its own. Independently tested and awarded a Class 1 Scrubbable rating ~ the highest of its kind ~ it’s designed to be wiped and washed clean while holding on to its beautiful, even, matte finish.

That resilience makes it well suited to the rooms you live in most: hallways, living rooms, kitchens and family spaces, where a paint needs to look immaculate and stay that way. The result is a premium, richly matte look with a finish that’s easy to care for.

There’s a real depth to a Resistance shade, and much of it comes down to pigment. Each colour is richly pigmented for a full, true finish ~ the kind of colour that feels saturated and considered on the wall. Across our curated palette of over
300 shades,  you’ll find everything from soft, liveable neutrals to deep, characterful darks, each one designed to work beautifully on its own and alongside the rest of the collection.

And because we design our paints to sit hand in hand with our wallpapers and murals, it’s easy to find a Resistance shade that perfectly partners a design you love ~ for a scheme that feels effortlessly coordinated.

Our color lets your walls breathe, allowing moisture vapor to pass through the surface, supporting a fresher-feeling home.

Mixed to order, with less waste

There’s a considered approach behind every tin, too. Rather than sitting pre-mixed on a shelf, each Resistance color is mixed to order when you place your order. The benefit is a practical one: you get the color you want, freshly made, which ensures no waste.

It’s all part of a more thoughtful way of making paint ~ one that’s water-based and low in odor, with a lower VOC level than oil-based alternatives.
