What colour to go with F&B Hague blue

8 years ago

I am going to have Hague blue in a downstairs toilet, but there will be tongue and groove labelling around the bottom half of the wall, I really don't know what colour to paint this in?

White would look fresh but if you didn't want a true white you could go for something like Strong White which has a grey tone to it. If you want a deeper colour, Hardwick White is one of the recommended complimentary colours.

Dorcas, Oh yes sorry that's great. So maybe go for Conforth White or Blackened? They should work well and has great light undertones that will help reflect light to keep it fresh looking. Maybe try a sample of those with the samples you painted of the Greys in that room? I wouldn't recommend wooden floors in the kitchen anyway so the limestone will pick out the slight yellowness in the undertones of the whites, and will help (as minni points out) to make the room feel warmer too. Don't forget to try the worktop against the colours too though as this will be impacted with what is around it :) Best of luck as always Gina

Hague blue can look good with a variety of colours: dusky pink like Setting Plaster, or a type of India yellow for example. However it depends on how much colour you would like to have. You can introduce these other colours using furnishings rather than paint colours and stick to a neutral like Dimity for the walls. On the other hand if you like the drama of the blue and want to achieve a flow throughout the l-shaped space, then continue with the Hague blue. I haven't really answered your question, but I hope my ramblings help. Good luck.

Hi Sarah, I don't think it needs a primer if you're using the light colours or painting a light colour over a light wall in my personal opinion. -It's a preference, completely up to you. If you're painting a dark colour over a light or recently plastered wall however, the dark tones primer is definitely is worth using in my experience :) Hope that's helpful.
