Leyland Super Leytex for me. Really good coverage. Can get away with one coat on bare plaster sometimes.
Oh, while I'm here, fuck Farrow & Ball. Apart from the general twattiness and price, I bought two cans of the same paint there the other week and they were noticeably different colours after stirring. Made me stand around in the shop waiting for samples to dry to compare and said that they "aim to get colour matches within 1%" which is utterly meaningless. Also, their emulsion paint is more like vinyl or acrylic, and didn't adhere properly to my base coat of Leyland emulsion. I used some weak masking tape on one area, and when I carefully removed it, it peeled off a big plastic-like strip of F&B paint. Just get it colour matched in Dulux super-matte and save yourself the grief.
