This flat matt finish provides coverage of 14 square metres per litre; we recommend applying two coats for full depth of colour.

Available in the full Little Greene colour palette, the flat matt finish of Absolute Matt Emulsion appears especially rich and sumptuous in darker tones. Try Absolute Matt in ‘Obsidian Green’, ‘Hicks’ Blue’, or ‘Lamp Black’; use these deeper tones in an all-over scheme for real impact.
