What colour paint could this be?
My friend just moved into a new home and we all love the colour on the walls in her living room. Like a mushroomy colour. we have an all through living room and want to paint my our walls this colour. We are ready to go shopping to get the paint but wondered if anyone had any idea on what it could be. Looks grey in the pictures beloow but it’s more mushroomy beige. I thought elephants breath as we have a tester of that in our walls but it doesn’t look quite the same
ill take the picture to Johnstone’s and see if we can get close.

4 years agoThanks Minnie- I’ll have a look and get a tester of both.
I was holding out hope they had left a half empty can of it under the stairs or loft.
100% agreed re:- Johnstone’s - we just coloured matched Hague blue in our kitchen as every time someone touched the wall it left a mark- my partner flat out refuses to use Estate Emulsion anymore so Johnstones it is and It’s slightly darker which i prefer. and more importantly you can touch it without leaving a mark.

Comments (4)Hi Sarah I like the greens you chose, I would use those dark green to paint the wall behind the kitchen unit to create a sort of feature wall the will make the beautiful kitchen to stand out. I would use a lighter tint of green for the other walls to create a welcome cosy environment. I fear to use those green throughout the kitchen could make it smaller and darker. I hope it helps Silvia...See MoreWhat colour to paint this dresser
Comments (32)Go with your instincts! You have a fairly monochrome room at the moment (love the flying ducks btw ;) so you can browse for some inspiration - try searching for painted hutch/dresser on Pinterest and you will get thousands of images, then choose whatever takes your fancy. I have a business refinishing furniture and at the moment I can sell anything as long as its grey, so if that's what you want to do you will be in good company :D The darker gunmetal greys look very effective, also indigo blues. Don't worry about fashion though as the beauty of paint is it can always be stripped off or painted over if you change your mind. Equally don't feel guilty about painting/altering the dresser either as I couldn't give it away in it's original finish these days :0 Good luck!...See Morewhat kind of professionnal could help me choose wall colours?
Comments (2)You could also look for a colour consultant. Some of the paint companies also offer such a service such as farrow and ball and little Greene. Dulux may also offer one http://www.farrow-ball.com/colour-consultancy/content/fcp-content?gclid=Cj0KEQjwn6DMBRC0p7P_lKu8opgBEiQAdm0J48OB_mD8dlSAL07vYraHmkOfopAQqxknF4d04vFcs_kaAjuh8P8HAQ Fees for interior designers, colour consultants differ hugely. You could also create a design dilemma for each room and see if people on here can help for free! Include photos so people can see what furnishings you have and detail how much light each room gets and which way it faces...See More

4 years agoDifferent paints will look completely different depending on the light. This is F&B Light Grey 17 with Clunch in my small TV lounge. It is double aspect East and West. The colour on the image looks a bit less green but not blue/grey. Elephants Breath is very red/violet.
