Duck Egg Blue Paint
Colour
Duck egg paint is a deceptively subtle color and covers a wide range of tones and tints, making it an incredibly adaptable and flexible addition to your home décor palette. From the merest hint in a creamy white to a blue that’s the color of a summer sky, duck egg paint adds that floaty, fresh and enchantingly light element to your interior. Duck egg paint is an ideal choice for bathrooms and kitchens, thanks to its bright and airy feel, especially when perfectly partnered with neutral tones or crisp whites. Look for complementary blue tones too, which can be combined to create a pleasing graduated ombré effect, with darker tones at the bottom climbing through the range to a soft duck egg blue at the top.
Duck egg falls into the pastel group of shades, but can be easily combined with stronger tones, effectively reducing their exuberance and producing a more understated ambience without losing that lightness. Don’t be afraid to partner duck egg with other colors too, like green and cream in a conservatory for an authentic, period atmosphere against floral wallpaper or a wildflower meadow wall mural.
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 Matte Durable Emulsion has a 1% sheen level with Class:1 Scrubbable classification. But what does this actually mean? Our Resistance Ultra Durable Matte Emulsion is so tough that it will keep its luxurious flat matte 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.
