A beautiful classic paint recipe that is timeless, light, airy and neutral. A popular go-to for our customers utilising grey and white and creating a soft neutral and versatile finish.

Dove is a beautiful soft grey and with a Crystal coloured wax it creates a beautiful limed patina and effect that is classic and timeless with a strong nod to the french look.

The two combinations of colours are easy to dress around and a great finish if you are looking at softening a piece, for your interior space. A finish that looks complicated but very easy to achieve for beginners.
