What F&B colour is this?

8 years ago

We have a larder painted in F&B black blue which is really dark but when we purchased the same colour to paint the architrave the colour was many shades lighter, almost green.

Is the colour for the walls? Lime White and old white are complimentary.

Hi Jackie, Here is a closeup photo of the wall upstairs with the pictures illuminated with a spotlight in the ceiling. As our hallway is very small, it's hard to get a good zoomed out photo, but I'll put one up when I get a chance. The house is still a work in progress, but downstairs we are going to build a recess into the wall and sit an orange glass vase in it. This contrasts really well against the Railings.... Lighting wise, I assume that you have an attic above the hall. Is it boarded or do you have access to the ceiling and wiring still? If this is the case, you can get an electrician to fit spots for you after decorating is complete if you need a bit more light in there. Do you get much natural light into the hall? I can see in your photo that the front door is solid, is there a window next to it? Our front door is partially glazed and faces West. We get the evening sun through the door and it changes the Railings colour from dark grey to a much lighter Bluey green grey : ) Thanks, Peter

I would say you have 2 options: 1) paint as Pat says, but choose a nice dark matt colour, ( or I suppose White if that is you want, its a matter of personal preference), and handrail dyed and varnished MATT, or, stain / matt varnish the whole lot. Here, with discussion with client, and led by the client who wanted a low maintenance finish, the 300 yr old beams had been treated and left as natural, unfinished, and the new soft wood ( budget did not allow for oak or hardwood) was finished in stain and matt varnish - I thought it might not work, but the end result was pleasing to all and very very happy client. This expressed the new joiner from the older structural timber frame. What do you think?

F&B Breakfast Room Green office - now what accent colours?

Understood. But don’t forget those colours you have selected ,belong to identifiable Hue Families. (indicated by the coloured segments on the wheels above) Wimborne White belongs to the Yellow Hue Family for example. But am not suggesting you need to pair it with a bright Yellow - but teaming it with other colours from the same Family would mean they have a colour connection. You can find blacks, whites, greys in each of those Families on the wheel. Choosing ones which have some connection to the colours you have already chosen, helps keep your palette tight. F&B All White + Little Greene Lamp Black both belong to the Green-Yellow Hue Family, just as Breakfast Room Green does. They share colour DNA.
