Good Substitute for F&B's Wimborne White?

[MysticIndia]

Evening everyone. My walls will be Pointing and Slipper Satin on the woodwork and I'm trying to save some notes on the ceiling and so instead of Wimbourne White, what would you suggest. I was looking at Crown's simple white, but it's so hard to judge on the computer.....

I'm reluctant to go brilliant White Trade paint (as my painter has suggested) as it may give a blue tint......any ideas?

Get a trade place to mix it. Johnsons Leylands have the formulae for all the F&B colours, much much cheaper and fantastic quality. Not as chalky obviously but the colour matching is excellent.

I've used them a few times to match F&B (destructive toddler stages) and have always been happy.

Dulux Supermatt is white, but not brilliant white so it doesn't have that blueish effect. I'd use that.

However it is definitely white, not creamy like Wimborne White. I think a good substitute for Wimborne White is Crown's Soft Linen or Dulux Jasmine White.

oh agree with the idea of getting a leyland match - BUT test it first!! I have had some good matches and some not so good matches through this route.
