Kitchen is at present sagey green with cream cupboards 0 want to change it round but can;t seem to find a paint for the cupboards - and what sort of paint should I buy? Is there special paint for wood that would be best?

Sorry sound like a bit of a dope but normally DH takes over and this time I really want to do it myself and show him that I can - well not really on my own if you guys are helping me but at least I can do it all right without bothering him.

Anything by Farrow & Ball.

My default answer.

Have one called Licthen by F&B and is a bit too dark!

Need specifics so I don't do what I normally do and spend £25 on tester pots!

I like f&b bluegreen or teresas green or terre de vert.My kitchen island is going to be bluegreen and my utility is teresas green.I think Mizzle is a paler version of terre de vert.I think it all depends on the lighting conditions in your kitchen what colour suits.I havn't been able to escape buying tester pots this time sadly.
