Can you find me a pale grey blue?

[EastwickWitch]

I'm going cross eyed looking for my kitchen unit colour.

DH does not want a grey kitchen, but will settle for a bluish grey.
I'm thinking a pale colour to go with Lyra or Bianco River Silestone.
So far I've come up with Little Greene Gauze & Pearl, F&B pavilion blue or Borrowed Light & Fired Earth Crom Fog.

I'm off to get samples but need to rule some out.
Have you used these colours?

[PoppyAmex]

Haven't used those but our nursery walls are F&B Blackened. Doesn't look it online but if you get a test pot it comes out grey blue-ish and it's lovely

[EastwickWitch]

Thanks Poppy I'll try a tester. The colour chart makes it look almost white grey.

my favourite - cornforth white farrow and ball. We have cupboard in bathroom painted and it looks fab.

[EastwickWitch]

Wow, fantastic. Thank you so much. Cornforth white looks perfect.

Cornforth white is gorgeous but it's not bluey. If anything it's got a hint of taupe/brown.
Welcome and gauze more bluey grey (lg)
Also platinum pale and cirrus fired earth

[EastwickWitch]

Ah, that's helpful thank you.
It's definitely a grey with a blue rather than brown/lilac/green tone I'm looking for. I find the right one, then it changes colour in the day light.
Have you seen gauze in RL?
How about Crom Fog?

[mummaemma]

My cornforth white is a soft grey. gorgeous. team with colourful kitchen assessories it would look fab. thought you might be able to persuade your DH. Its a very popular colour at the moment and i can see why. Love love love my cupboards.

[SwedishEdith]

Borrowed Light is lovely but it's definitely blue rather than grey.

[mummaemma]

love gauze. think that would be perfect for you.

[PoppyAmex]

I'd try to find these suggestions on google images. Real rooms are more realistic than the samples on the paints' websites

[Beccadugs]

Our kitchen is grey units with FB pavilion blue. Oddly it is quite greenish. I second the suggestion of blackened, lovely bluey grey (have it in our living room)

[EastwickWitch]

poppy I have a pinterest board full of them but again the lighting will be distorting.
I'll get some samples & let you know.
Gauze is looking promising because it comes in 3 shades that I could use in different areas.
Thanks so much for the input.

[Juvenilesuccess]

Another vote for blackened. It's a lovely shade.

[Alwayscheerful]

I have farrow & ball skylight and borrowed light, they are not grey they are clean duck pale duck egg colours - even in north facing rooms, sometimes they look green and sometimes they look blue.

[EastwickWitch]

I have narrowed my search down to 3 colours for testing

Little Greene Gauze deep
F&B Dimpse (the chap in the paint shop was adamant I should try)
Fired Earth Crom Fog

I'll report back

[EastwickWitch]

To update, Ive gone for Little Greene Gauze Deep. It's a lovely pale grey with blue undertones.
Thanks for all the advice, it's much appreciated.
