WALL COLOR

In this video we’re painting with Trout Gray by Benjamin Moore in Regal Select Matte finish. This is my favourite line of paint because it’s a paint and primer in one so it has GLORIOUS coverage, matte finish hides imperfections on walls and ceilings, but it’s also wipeable (not all paints are). If you mark your wall you can take a clean damp sponge or microfibre cloth and gently wipe the marks away.
