With numerous five-star reviews for its coveted colour range, one customer said of Lick’s Green 18 Matt Emulsion paint: “Lovely warm green colour, paint has nice surface. Needed only two coats and went on smoothly. Room transformed, a large, high-ceilinged room now feels cosier and the colour suits the period property. We will use the room more now as it looks inviting.”

Another customer, who reviewed the Beige 02 Lick paint, wrote: “Easy to apply and dries fast. Great coverage goes really far, colour looks great.” Meanwhile, another raved about the Pink 05 Matt Emulsion, saying: “Smashed it again….the best paint we have EVER used!”
