Light-to-Dark

Similar schemes blend shades that are close on the colour wheel, creating a subtle and serene palette that feels effortless and well-coordinated.

Probably the easiest way to create a cohesive scheme is to choose lighter and darker colours from the same colour scale - for an effortless, designer feel.

Complementary schemes bring colours together that balance and enhance each other, for a palette that feels deliberate but effortlessly put-together.

White Pairings combine soft and crisp whites to build a clean, airy palette that feels fresh and sophisticated, perfect for brightening and expanding a space.

Product Features

Deep, Rich Colour

We don’t sell thousands of colours, only the perfectly balanced ones. Get depth of colour with classy muted tones that you just don’t get with lesser paints.

Unrivalled Coverage

The Decorators Forum online kindly said “this emulsion is genuinely perfect in every way”. COAT’s incredible hiding power saves precious time and money, with a flawless finish that lasts.

Coverage is up to 15m2 per Litre.

Ultimate Durability

All COAT paints are Scrub Class 1 - the highest durability class available (excl. Claypaint - Class 2). Easily clean off dirt and marks, with paint that’s engineered to be timeless - not trendy.

Touch dry in 2-4 hours. Re-coat in 4 hours. Allow at least 48 hours to cure fully, and avoid scrubbing or heavy contact for one week.

Store in a dry place above 5 degrees centigrade.

Made For UK Light

Light Reflectance Value (or LRV) is how much light a colour reflects, or absorbs - from 0 (Very Dark) to 100 (White). For Field Notes, the LRV is 9 which puts it in the "Very Dark" category.

Safety & Sustainability

Safe Paints

The entire COAT paint range is water based, low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and low-odour too. All finishes <30g/l VOC. Free of nasty solvents, all our paints are certified A+ for Indoor Air Quality, certified Toy Safe, and vegan too. Always read and follow all information on the product label (the tin) before opening and application. For further detailed information about our products, including guidance on safe use, read our Product Brochure or contact us directly.

Made Fresh For You

All COAT paint is mixed on demand, specially for your order. Overproduction is the biggest cause of consumer waste, and we also operate a recycling programme for empty tins when you’re done. That’s zero to landfill.

B Corp Certified

Everyone deserves to know who they’re buying from. B Corp is a comprehensive independent certification, for companies with the highest levels of environmental and social responsibility. COAT is Climate Positive, too.
