    I have it in a very dark hall and it really has made a difference. Your walls will need to be very clean before you apply this paint, B&Q staff recommended I put 2 coats of basic white paint and then 2 coats of the light paint and it looks really good.

    I did run out of paint towards the end of my hall so there is a section with just 1 coat of the light paint and there is no difference at all, so if I was going to do it again I would just use one coat of the light paint.

    Hope that helps.

    I had my hallway done about 5 years ago with it as its quite dark. It took two coats even though the old paint wasnt a dark colour than L&D paint. I think it does make a difference but not as much as maybe using a white paint

    Don't waste your money on this paint. I have used it in two rooms & it is useless. Because it is matt there is no reflection. Use a regular satin & you get more sheen.

    We've just painted a very dark hallway in this (Coastal glow) It really has made a difference & we would use it again. You can get a tester pot in it to try it out first.
    Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

    Hi, this is the colour I was thinking of getting. Could you tell me, is it similar to a butterscotch type of colour? I'm fed up of magnolia and want a warm creamy shade but not as light as magnolia and not too yellow either!

    I wouldn’t call it a butterscotch colour - it’s much paler than that, it’s more of a light creamy shade & not as “pink” as magnolia. I got a tester pot to try first & I think this is your best bet just to make sure you like it! It has really lightened up our hallway & we really like it. ;)

    Used Morning Light in dull rooms and really pleased. Sort of pale lemon.
