Blackened or Cornforth white?

[Psipssina]

Not sure which is better/nicer...any thoughts? I can't tell from google images!

Thankyou

(am after more of a grey than a white, more warm tone than bluey tone iyswim)

Blackened doesn't give a grey effect IMO. Sort of bluey white.

Cornforth white is a definitely grey although I wouldn't class it as warm. It's warmer than most similar colours from other manufacturers because of the subtle undertones. I had it in east facing bedroom for several years and it had a lovely violety undertone. But it's def in the bluey-grey family.

If you want warm grey I'd look at skimming stone or slipper satin (or others in their families).

thank you so much. I thought skimming stone was more like a beigey colour? It is so hard to tell from their website.

I've just used Valspar's 'Whisper Softly' after having gone through multiple blinking samples and every one having a blue or purple tint

It's on a north facing wall and has a nearby north window - light grey when sunny and obviously a little darker when not - but not 'dark' iyswim

I'm very pleased with it - covered in one coat so am pleased with Valspar paint in general so will use again

oH it sounds like you were looking for the same thing as me!

There is a lovely Dulux mix that comes off grey in a lot of lights, it's a different shade on every wall in my bedroom, called Pale Walnut but it's less beigey than grey.

It's just they had some F&B reduced in our local Homebase for some reason (they don't stock it) and I didn't know which to go for! Have got Cornforth in the end. And a pot of Charlotte's Locks in eggshell.

Which is a scary orange

I have cornforth white in my livin room and it's lovely. I find it very warm and a soft, gentle grey. i have a South facing room though.

Yes, Blackened is bluey (lovely colour for a bedroom).

Cornforth white I think of as a very neutral grey. Think it's a couple of shades darker than Strong White. I have strong white all over the place - it's beautiful, very neutral. Ammonite is between the two.

Charlotte's Locks is a fabulous colour! The perfect orange. It is very in yer face, though. I have only used it in accents.

Considering blackened for kitchen units as I want a light, blue-grey...

Have Blackened in our bedroom (south facing, gets lots of light during the day). It's been up 3 or 4 years and still looks great, in fact when the time comes I will prob repaint in the same colour. I am fussy about wall colour and spend a small fortune on sample pots every time I do a room . I considered various Dulux, Laura Ashley and I think B&Q own brand shades when it went up but Blackened was the best one - calm and not too dark etc.

Yes, I'm a great fan of Blackened. I love how it moves between pale grey and pale blue in different lights. I've had it up for 5 years and it still makes me happy to look at it.
