Hi !!
does anyone know of a uk based nice light warm grey/ greige paint for a dark downstairs hall but a light landing? No tones of lilac or blue- would rather be browny!
Thanks

7 years agoHow funny on my shortlist are skimming stone, Egyptian cotton and zoffany quarter silver! I'll check out the la seine one! I haven't seen skimming stone yet but I have Egyptian cotton and thought it was the one (sample in pic) however it needs tauper to go with the curtain fabrics I've chosen which are actually very tauper grey!

Colour for kitchen?
Comments (2)How exciting!! Great news! I can't really see the rest of the room but based on those images I would keep with the contemporary neutrals in keeping with the kitchen. A little greige on most of the walls. Something like Ammonite but it depends on the lighting levels and directions with in the space. I would then create a feature wall the other side of the dining table - probably opting for a mural of some kind rather than a paint colour :) Best of luck...See MoreGreige all the way?
Comments (5)Beautiful tiles, I do think something "brown" could worn it up as teal and white is quite a cool combination. What taps etc are you having? Did you mean cornforth white for the living areas? Ive got cornforth in a room with both a south facing and west facing window, I don't actually find it that warm (although appreciate its not meant to be overly cool or warm!) but I would test it in each space as light affects colour differently. I probably wouldn't pair it with cream if I'm honest but would look at the coordinating neutrals (or was cream for a carpet?). I don't think the teal is too colourful btw, you can go a bit mad in a bathroom plus you will be using colour for soft furnishings etc...See MoreFarrow and Ball Greige (ish?) Shortlist Help
Comments (12)Yep there is. Little Greene have just bought out a new colour card and small brochure called Stone. This is because (bear with me on this), I'm not a slave to fashion. quite the opposite, but I predict that in a couple of years time, we will look back on the battleship grey phase in the same way we look back on the avocado bathroom suite phase. Greys are beautiful if they are nuanced and have a tinge of colour, but grey all over just because it's fashionable is not a good fit for many interiors, particularly light starved ones. The new range for Little Greene is brilliant because it appears to present them in terms of perceived temperature first. It suggests a colour, then gives related whites, neutrals, coordinating and contrasting colours. In terms of 'whites' I would never use pure white on a trim or skirting, rather I would use a related white. For example, for a pinky hued taupe colour, such as Oxford Stone, which can look warm and slightly pink, a pure white would look cold next to it, but a related white would look harmonious. If everything is painted in related colours then it can look like a 'White' room on a sunny afternoon, if that makes sense. My personal preference for neutrals is red based ones because I find yellow based ones can look a bit dirty in light starved spaces, and can look a bit bleak with LED lights which do no favours fo any colours. Hope this has not made things worse....See MoreHunting for light blue-grey paint

7 years agoThought I'd give you all an update in case someone else finds themselves in my dilemma! So I have been and colour matched Laura Ashley pale dove Grey at valspar and it has come out pretty good! It has a different finish- I found Laura Ashley Matt when under underneath artificial light went really light and looked almost white whereas the valspar stays true! I'm now just placing it around the house to see how it looks in different lights-if anything I think it may go slightly lilac but then I've looked at some many now I see all sorts!! . I also quite like valspar mink frost- does anyone have experience of this? Anyway I've attached a photo of my samples on the wallpaper ( sorry about pic but it's a miserable day!) top left to right- Laura Ashley pale dove grey, dulus Egyptian cotton, johnstones China clay,bottom left to right-valspar mink frost,valspar Laura Ashley match,valspar goose feathers,bottom dulux pebble shore.

7 years agolooking for some ideas for a paint colour to go with existing carpet. the carpet is a warm (pinkish) taupe colour and I had initially thought a similar truffle colour for the wall. but I wonder if a contrast would be better. any advice?

6 years agoHi guys
I have slowly been doing my house in this colour and valspar change the codes slightly when their software updates apparently . This was my last pot and most recent- it is a 5 litre tub. I think the codes change dependant on the pot size but I'm sure they can work it out. Hope it helps
Thanks xx
