My new favorite paint

I've used brilliant white emulsion, undercoat and primer, duck egg satin finish, whispy cloud matt, fire-engine red gloss, but my all-time favorite paint has to be Dulux's Light & Space Rich Matt in Lunar Falls. Why? It's not that it covers easily or that it really does bounce light around the room, popping against our black and eau de nil tiles. No, it's the fact that it smells of custard. A proper, hand-made, creme brulee-style egg custard. PJ scoffed when I told him, but on having a brushful wafted under his nose, he had to agree. Custard.

Scented paint: Truly we live in the future.
