Colour Pairing
Colour Pairing
Cricket Leather pairs exquisitely with Sussex Brick, a slightly brighter, rustic orange, enhancing the warmth and heritage appeal, reminiscent of a classic Victorian drawing room. For a striking and elegant contrast, consider pairing it with Mersey Mist, a soft, light grey, which will balance the intensity of Cricket Leather with its calming influence, suitable for refined Georgian interiors.

A gorgeous colour absolutely like cricket leather, beautiful smooth consistency paint easy to apply and lovely coverage
Received quickly. Paint is almost odour free. The lid was tricky to take off and I ended up getting paint all over my hands. It went on well. I was covering an Ikea cabinet and it took 4 coats.
Lovely colour and fantastic texture to paint with. Would recommend
Have not tried it on any furniture yet but have brushed out a sample on some wood! Absolutely love the colour and the finish coat on the surface. Did take 3 coats to get good coverage but it is a deep, strong colour so to be expected! Am looking forward to using it on some furniture in the near future and also add some more colours to my range! Small &Co could be my go to future brand !! Thank you!
Great coverage and flow. Expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for. Would definitely buy again.
