Farrow and Ball

Dead Flat was developed by Farrow & Ball over 70 years ago to recreate the 18th century ‘flatted lead’ paint effect. This traditional method originally involved teams of artisans painstakingly layering coats of paint to build a deep, rich and pigmented matte look, which was often reserved for the formal reception rooms of a house due to the work involved.
