Colour matches

I am wanting to get an orange radiator and on an opposite wall where you won't be able to see the other radiator I want to get a red one. But has anyone any suggestions as to which RAL colours would go?

Hi,

that's a personal choise as you already know what the radiator's colour will be and no space colour palette given. Just go to a painting retailer, they'll show you RAL cards.

Thanks Norikei. I was hoping someone with a better eye for colour than me could suggest which shade of orange would best complement which shade of red.

Little Greene or Dulux colour match?

Little Greene all the way. F&B, Dulux, Crown etc are impossible to touch up - it always shows. Little Greene colours don't fade so although around the same price as F@B, it's more economical in the long run because you can touch up small areas invisibly and not have to re-paint the whole wall.

Here are a couple of nearish matches in Benjamin Moore. Compare the similarities and differences via their attributes. Alternatively via e-paint, their nearest match to Pointing is this NCS colour, which is Johnstone’s colour system.

For a bright modern kitchen I think a wooden floor, or wood effect porcelain, will go beautifully. Porcelain is quite cold underfoot so you may consider under floor heating. Worktop I would keep it simple with maybe a white quartz with some veining. You could continue the worktop up as a splashback with an upstand all round. This will give a clean look, but if you want tiles then don’t need an upstand. There are so many gorgeous tiles about so it’s worth having a search online. Here’s some ideas.

I’m sure this is true Tinklebell! I have had several people however warn me against them for our specific project. We have chosen to go with Black hardware to make a feature of the black gasket rather than hide it.

There's no good or bad thing about 2 colours related. It's about matching one colour to another already choosen, or even better, to a palette desired.

As you can see on these palettes, red and orange matches fine, it's just up the final combination.
