WHAT IS THE BEST COLOUR WHITE PAINT TO USE NEXT TO WHITE QUARTZ WORKTOP? ALL WHITE BY FARROW AND BALL IS TOO STRONG. THE KITCHEN UNITS ARE FRENCH PARTRIDGE GREY (WREN). I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR A DEEP GREY AS A FEATURE WALL TO CONTRAST WITH THE LIGHT GREY UNITS. DOWN PIPE IS TOO DARK AND PLUMETT TOO BLUE. ANY ADVICE GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED. ANYONE USED LITTLE GREENE PAINT - SCREE? THANK YOU

Liz, given the amount of natural light in that interior I would say Downpipe, but it wouldn't look like that in a darker interior. Little Greene Grey Teal 226 or Scree 227 look similar. I don't believe you can accurately colour match digitally, paints behave differently in different lighting conditions.

Its funny but I am liking the darker shades more and more. Always used to go for pastels but my tastes are evolving! The matchcards in your earlier pic, on the table, seem to be much lighter than the later pic with the fabric, not sure why. The middle colour, Paradise Found, seems to match the flower in the fabric very well so it would work. But I must be honest I love the two greeny blues more. They are very similar to Inchyra Blue by F&B. Would you go all over? I think with white shutters and white woodwork it would look stunning. Here’s a pic of Inchyra Blue so you can see how similar it is, but a little darker?

I love Inchyra Blue, a lovely mix of green and blue. I’m not familiar with Plummett apart from the colour chart, so can’t comment in that. A neutral for the other walls which may go are Strong White or Ammonite, but there are loads you could choose.
