    Hi, Apologies for the delay in getting back to answer your question. The paint colour used in this Drawing Room and all the rooms that do not have wallpaper in this Chelsea Townhouse is Little Greene - Slaked Lime (105) Absolute Matt Emulsion.

    https://www.littlegreene.com/slaked-lime

    The colour appears darker in different areas of the room that has a very large window and natural light.

    I have used Slaked Lime, on numerous projects as well as Slaked Lime mid and deep. I would also highly recommend Little Greene for the quality of their paint. I use Intelligent Emulsion in Dining Areas and Kitchen areas etc for its resilience.

    I would however not use Slaked Lime (105) in a room with limited natural light. Slaked Lime Mid (149) works better in these areas in my opinion.


    For reference, I used this colour on the recommendation of a project Tara Bernerd (Interior Designer) carried out when painting her own apartment on the Thames.

    All the best,

    Thank you Susan! My partner and I just bought our first flat and have been recommended to use Slaked Lime Mid throughout as we have limited natural light so these seems like a good decision!

    Great. I would test both slaked lime colours (slaked lime and slaked lime mid testers ) by painting on a large piece of hanging paper and moving around the room. As I am sure you know, this gives you a good idea of what the colour looks like in different areas. Congrats on first flat!
