Is Dulux Heritage a good match for Farrow & Ball French gray?

Yes. Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt Paint - Tinted Colour Match matches Farrow & Ball French gray (NCS S 3010-G80Y) at 96%, mixed to the same colour reference, so it reads the same on your wall.

How much cheaper is the Farrow & Ball French gray dupe?

The trade match starts at £23.91, up to 40% less than buying Farrow & Ball French gray direct.

Is the trade dupe the same quality as Farrow & Ball French gray?

It is trade paint, mixed to the same colour reference. Trade paint carries more pigment than retail, so it covers in fewer coats and stands up to cleaning. You pay less because there is no designer name on the tin.

What does a 96% match actually mean?

The percentage says how close the trade formula sits to the original, and each match carries a grade: Platinum at 98% and above, Gold at 96%, Silver at 94%, Bronze below that. Above 95% most people cannot tell the two apart on a wall. Bronze is a good alternative with a slight shift in tone, so test it with a sample pot first.

How quickly can I get it?

Next Day Paint tints your colour to order. Order before 3pm, Monday to Friday, and it ships for next working day delivery. They email you tracking when it leaves.

Can I return it if I change my mind?
