Frenchic’s advice when choosing colours
We make every effort to match our online colour swatches to the paint but colours can vary depending on a number of factors, including screen settings. This means we cannot guarantee the paint will exactly match what you see on screen. Please order a colour chart and samples or visit your local stockists to see the colours yourself.
