Help me find this paint colour

[legolammb]

I'm currently planning to re-paint my hall, stairs and landing. I'm going to attempt it myself - eek - and if it looks rubbish to get professionals in. I was initially thinking Timeless, which I've done in 2 of the 3 bedrooms coming off it, but I'm now thinking I need something with a little bit... 'more' to it for such a big area - it's 2 floors with a curved victorian dark wood balustrade with white spindles going up it.

I was looking at some property porn and like the paint colour in pictures 7 and 8 here - any ideas? I think it might be described as greige? I want a very soft colour, a hint not a strong effect, with hints of grey and stone but not cream nor a true grey or lilac-toned grey. I quite like this too

As it's likely to get scraped by bags/coats going up stairs it needs to be fairly wipeable.

Thinking of doing a black frame gallery wall and copper light fitting if that's not completely naff and overly trendy as well!

Fresh linen is a homebase paint which looks like this. Just walnut from dulux is also very similar. In fact almost identical.

[TheFutureMrsB]

Crown Spotlight is very similar. I have it in my bedroom.

Used google for an image, too lazy to go upstairs 😂

[Bubble2bubble]

Your second link could be Farrow & Ball Elephant's breath

[legolammb]

Thanks for the quick suggestions, both look good! TheFutureMrsB - does Spotlight come up pink/lilac at all? It looks slightly like it might in the pics. It's an internal hall with no windows so that may make a difference.

[legolammb]

Thanks Bubble - think F&B is out of budget for me trying to do it myself. I've also heard mixed reviews about how durable it is so I'm a bit hesitant for a stairway but will google for some dupes

[Soubriquet]

Could you not print a picture of it and take it to homebase where they colour match paint and make it?

[Bubble2bubble]

Tbh we didn't use F & B paint but our decorator got the colour copied very cheaply for us

[TheFutureMrsB]

No Lego not that I've noticed, my bedroom doesn't get much light at all, I'll try and get a photo when I'm back home.

In the comments section of the instagram pic the user has hash tagged farrow and ball's ammonite. I've tried colour matching and it doesn't seem to work, at least not to a picky eye! Best to find one from a brand you like rather than colour matching from another imo. I've heard great things about silicon chalky downs. Good luck!

[Bungleboggs]

Dulux Egypition cotton is quite greysh

[Alwayscheerful]

I would say ammonite and elephants breath - Johnstones will colour match for you at half the price and the paint is more hardwearing. I use farrow and ball because I like the chalky finish on walls but my carpenter prefers the johnstones acrylic for paintwork.
Elephants breath looks great in north facing rooms, it has lilac undertones ( I think it is red based). If your rooms are smaller than the house you linked to you might get the sand effect with skimming stone.

[Alwayscheerful]

Sorry - same not sand effect.

I've got Dulux Egyptian cotton and it's very similar.

[Lesley1980]

I think it looks similar to Dulux Just Walnut too. We have it in the kitchen to go with oak cabinets. I really like it.

Someone mentioned Crown Spotlight & we have that in the hall. It is a lovely colour but it's lilac based & in our house it's grey in the morning & lilac in the afternoon.

Terrible lighting in my house.

[MrBennOfFestiveRoad]

I was going to say Dulux Egyptian Cotton too. One of my favourite colours.

[ChishandFips33]

Dulux polished pebble has been recommended on other threads

[SortAllTheThings]

I was going to suggest Just Walnut. It's a great colour, not grey, not beige, sometimes looks the tiniest bit lilac in the right light.

[SortAllTheThings]

Ah, you don't want lilac. Misread

[mrscrocopop]

This looks similar to what we have in our kitchen - we have 'flint' by Laura Ashley.... ours may be a touch lighter but the tone is similar x

[lashy]

I've got Dulux Polished Pebble in my bedroom and don't think the colour in the photo is the same - could just be the light though.
My first thought was F&B Strong White - with brilliant white skirting, the colour looks like a very pale grey.

[thenewaveragebear1983]

My dh has polished pebble in his office and I think it looks light blue rather than grey. It must be very dependable on the light and other colours in the room.

Picture 7 & 8 look like Farrow and Ball Shaded white (or shadow white). Second link looks a bit like Little Greene Joanna.

Yes, I know I am very late to the party with this!

What did you decide upon Legolammb?

[MakeItStopNeville]

Benjamin Moore's Tapestry Beige.

[muze]

Which Benjamin Moore paint, aura or Regal, flat or matt or eggshell? And how hard wearing do you find the BM paint in the hallway? (Currently looking to choose a BM paint and colour for those myself).
Many thanks legolammb if you have time
