Which Grey Paint???

[peachcake]

I'm trying (and so far failing) to find a pale grey paint to my lounge and kitchen diner. I can't seem to find a true pale grey! They either have blue, mauve or brown undertones.
Has anyone found a nice one, I'm spending a fortune in tester pots!! x

Have you tried F&B Cornforth White?

[mumma24]

Strong white farrow and ball, it's a light grey, cornforth is darker

[mumma24]

Strong white

[MWestie]

Dulux Polished Pebble is lovely.

[Chapsie]

I was going to say strong white too!

• Dulux. Stupid phone

[TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge]

Duly Polished Pebble. I have it it most rooms and it's a true pale grey

[Sylviecat]

We have cornforth in our living room and it is lovely.

[Celticlassie]

Another vote for polished pebble. It's very grey.

[MamaDuckling]

String White...

[MamaDuckling]

Strong, not string!

[PrimalLass]

I don't think Cornforth is a true grey - it's a bit pink/brown.

I like Ammonite.

I have just used wilko pearl grey. No idea how to attach a photo... Ooh. Think I've done it. But not sure you will get the effect from a photo

My front room is east facing and the Cornforth White looks true grey in there, definitely no pink or brown. It does look like a slightly darker version of Strong White based on your pics

Polished pebble has quite a blue hint, at least it did in my north facing room, I had to paint over it as it was too blue. All colours depend on the light so much.

Dulux's pebble shore is a soft grey, worked better than polished pebble for me. Dulux's thimble case is a very pale grey, too pale imo but very soft and inoffensive.

I had exactly the same problem, and ended up using Dulux Polished Pebble.

It's in a north-facing bedroom. Very happy with the result. It's a light grey. I like to think of it as the grey equivalent of magnolia. It has no bluey hues at all and no purple, just light grey and nothing else :-)

I would definitely recommend it.

Fired Earth Malm. I have it in my front room.

[MrsBosh]

Just done well, decorator has our hallway in Dulux White Mist with Brilliant White woodwork and ceiling. There is a noticeable contrast but it's still nice and light

We spent a fortune on testers too!

[Truckingalong]

Valspar modern grey.

[Finola1step]

I soon as I saw your thread title I thought...Cornforth White. I love it.

[SauvignonPlonker]

Another one for Valspar modern grey after faffing about with tester samples for ages. It's really hard wearing too - DD 2.5 has drawn over it a few times & it has cleaned up really nicely with. JML magic eraser.

Have you tried French Grey by Little Greene Paint Company? That's a 'proper' grey but not too dark.

[puffylovett]

F and b pavilion grey is beautiful. Cornforth is stunning but has lavender undertones in my hall.

[Shallishanti]

we have pearl by Little Greene, in 2 versions (deepest and next but one)

• in our very dark hallway- works well

[FreckledLeopard]

I have Dulux Pebble Shore and it looks great.
