Your right, Dulux do say, they don t colour match,its for legal copy right reasons, That is why i worded my thread very carefully (best for mixing wall paint to get a very CLOSE match,) see i did not say EXACT match,I said a close match

Hi Nicky, I would agree, Johnsons do a pretty good match. Bear in mind it won't be exact thought but close enough. I also find Johnsons paint more hard wearing for day to day living.

Has any body heard OFF ''BENJAMIN MOORE'' Paints ?

OR has anybody used it ?????????????????? !!!

LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ?

They're American and very good - not so easy to take advantage of their full services here in UK but interesting for reference. Plenty of home products to choose from so I've not used them here.

Good idea but not sure you'll save yourself much in the end. Emulsion or Eggshell?

Hi neobule - if you're wanting eggshell for woodwork I would suggest you have it all colourmatched by Johnsons or Mylands (they do an eggshell that has marble in it and very tough). F&B not very robust for hard working cabinets in kitchen for example. Mylands no cheaper than F&B but much stronger. If it was emulsion for walls then go with Johnsons for budget.
