FAQs
Is Pelt suitable for high-traffic areas?
As a Dead Flat finish, it is best suited for low-traffic walls and ceilings as matte surfaces can be more susceptible to scuffing.
Can I return the paint if the color isn't right?
No, because Pelt is part of the Farrow & Ball Archive collection, it is made to order specifically for you and is non-returnable.
Does Pelt look black or purple?
It is a deep purple; however, in low-light conditions, it can appear almost black.
What colors pair well with Pelt?
It pairs beautifully with Brassica for a moody look, or Middleton Pink and Great White for a softer, contrasting effect.
Should I use a specific primer?
Yes, using a Farrow & Ball primer in the recommended tone will ensure the best color payoff and durability.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or streaking
Ensure the surface is properly primed and apply a second coat once the first is completely dry.
Color looks different than expected
Check the light levels in the room; Pelt is highly light-reactive and will shift appearance between direct daylight and evening lamp light.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Sophisticated matte finish reduces glare and hides surface flaws
- Dynamic appearance that adapts to different lighting conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application. For best results, use a high-quality primer compatible with Farrow & Ball paints to ensure even suction and color consistency. When painting, use long, even strokes with a high-quality brush or roller to maintain the integrity of the flat finish. Because 'Dead Flat' is a matte finish, it is best suited for low-traffic interior walls. Clean using a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners which can damage the delicate matte surface.
