Farrow and Ball Durability?

I am planning to redecorate my dining room in Farrow and Ball Clunch but I have never used it before and have some concerns over it's durability. I don't want to used the more satiny one as I don't want a sheen at all. Have been wondering whether to get it colour matched in another paint. Any ideas?!

Don't get a colour match - I tried this the other day because we wanted an oil-based gloss and F&B are water-based. I bought a tester pot of Dulux, colour matched from Clunch on the F&B colour chart. It really is not the same colour at all. Holding it up to our lovely Clunch walls, it is much too green. Not quite as green as Tunsgate Green, but certainly not Clunch.

Thanks! I saw on a forum the other day a painter and decorater recommending Little Greene Paint Company oil-based paints in preference to F and B water-based ones - maybe have a look at those?
