The Little Greene Paint Company

I am now a fan of a paint shop!
I had never heard of this company until last week, when I was researching the best paint to use on our front door. We had planned to use Farrow and Ball, but after I found a few builders/​decorators forums complaining that quality isn’t good enough… I noticed the name Little Greene kept popping up, recommended as a better alternative by decorators.
— They have similar «English heritage» colours to F&B (although it seemed like an even larger range… with a few brighter colours mixed in)
— As with F&B, they paint the little strips on their colour charts (rather than print them) so you can see the exact colours
— They have oil based paints for external hardwood
— They have a similar finish to F&B, but it is more hard wearing.
— The staff are really, helpful, chatty and lovely… and give good advice.
— They mix each pot especially for you.
In the end, this paint was cheaper than F&B, but I like the service and the actual paint quite a lot more. Sweet.
