Full details
Lavender Garden No.30 by Mylands is a sophisticated, desaturated lilac paint with grey undertones, designed for homeowners seeking to create a tranquil and refreshing atmosphere. It is ideal for those who prefer a soft, non-reflective aesthetic on interior surfaces; however, users should note that the dead matt finish is highly porous and may require more frequent cleaning than glossier alternatives.

FAQs
Is this paint suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways?
While it can be used in hallways, the dead matt finish is more prone to scuffing than satin finishes, so it is best reserved for lower-traffic areas.
Can I use this paint on wood trim?
Yes, it is a multi-surface paint, but ensure the wood is properly primed for the best finish.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times vary by humidity and temperature, but typically it is touch-dry within a few hours and fully cured after 24-48 hours.
Does the grey undertone make it look blue?
The grey undertones provide a stony, neutral base that anchors the lilac, preventing it from looking overly vibrant or 'baby blue'.
How many coats should I apply?
For best results, we recommend two coats to ensure the full depth of the pigment is achieved.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks after drying
Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid overworking the paint once it has begun to set.
Paint rubbing off during cleaning
Dead matt finishes are inherently delicate; avoid harsh chemical cleaners and use only a light, damp touch.
Uneven color or 'flashing'
Apply a secondary coat after the first has fully cured to ensure total opacity and consistent finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over porous surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended to ensure even color saturation. For maintenance, avoid scrubbing the dead matt surface, as this can burnish the paint. Instead, gently dab spills with a damp, soft cloth. Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures to preserve the shelf life of the resins.
