Reply to: I really like this wall colour but wonder if its too dark.

Reply to: More photos as we style more rooms - looking more like a home now! Lots of green shades on the ground floor, which was the plan. It works with a surprising number of other accent shades.

Reply to: Hi Forzaitalia, there are a few different options that you could try. Firstly, although digital representations are good in some sense, you would always need to test a colour on large pieces of paper first, so a digital image you discount you may like in real life. All rooms have areas of light and shade and that alters how things look. I recently visited the house of a well known printmaker and his huge Victorian lounge was painted in Pigeon, it looked stunning and would be a good colour to complement the warm reds and the sofa. As suggested Mizzle is a paler version of this so may look good too. Farrow and Ball light Grey 17 is a gorgeous warm grey with green undertones, I have it in two rooms in my house but I colour block it, this means other walls are paler. I do this almost everywhere as it means you can go darker on certain walls but retain lightness overall. I would ignore the term feature wall as it is misleading. You can darken and lighten walls as you need to reflect light or change proportions. This is Pigeon below.

Reply to: Anything with a blue/green undertone will bring out the orange/red colour in the brick. Inchyra Blue is lovely.
