FAQs
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, this is an interior paint. For masonry or exterior applications, please refer to the specific Masonry Paint variants.
Does this color look more red or pink?
It is a balance of both; it appears as a natural, rosy floral tone that changes slightly depending on your ambient room light.
What is the benefit of a Dead Matt finish?
A dead matt finish has very low light reflectivity, which creates a sophisticated, soft appearance and helps hide minor wall imperfections.
Do I need a primer?
Yes, using a primer evens out surfaces, improves paint adhesion, and ensures a longer-lasting, more accurate color result.
Can I use this on furniture?
As a multi-surface paint, it is suitable for various applications, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears patchy after first coat
This is common with deep pigments. Apply a second coat after the first has fully cured to achieve consistent coverage.
Poor adhesion to surface
Ensure a compatible primer, such as the recommended Pink Primer and Undercoat, was applied to the substrate before painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Using a primer is essential to achieve the professional finish characteristic of Mylands paints. For this specific color, the manufacturer recommends the use of their Pink Primer and Undercoat, which helps even out the surface and improves color adhesion. When caring for the painted finish, use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which could damage the dead matt surface.
