Hallway colour crisis

Yes and in my bedroom it looks pink.

I wasn’t talking about your bedroom, I was talking about the colour in front of my eyes on your post, that I quoted.

Peachy pinks work well in north facing rooms or rooms with little natural light. I tested literally all of them haha.

😂

You are not in my bedroom though.

I'd resign myself to repainting as I wouldn't be able to live with a colour that didn't feel right. And I have done so many a time. biggest regret was Just Walnut which turned lavender in my living room. Have also had fails with a F&B copy of Middleton Pink which turned white in my overly sunny bedroom, like the colour just vanished, and a buttery yellow that went a bit 80s Pat Sharp in a yellow shellsuit in my current bathroom. All down to lighting. You can paint swatches all you like but until you do the whole room you'll never completely know how it's going to come out.

I’d call that peach.

The website says it’s pink. Anyway whether pink or peach, it’s a really lovely colour.

I have read everything you’ve written. You can’t claim you’re not trying to police what people are saying when you literally said ‘will people stop saying this’.
You can make your point without telling other people to stop making theirs.

I have it in a bedroom and it looks pink to me.

Might be an obvious question but did you stir it properly before you started painting?

It's peach.

If you the rest of my post and subsequent posts by others you will see what point I was making.

I think it is.

That lilac would have to go, and I'd go over it with Egyptian Cotton or Natural Hessian.

Don't even think of mixing your own paint colour at home.
(Remember when the DC experimented with plasticine)

That's not pink.

My dining room is also lilac when it was supposed to be a dusty pink colour, can't remember the actual name (dulux tin from B&Q). I have no energy to re-do it so we just eat in our purple room for the next 5 years until it gets painted again. But I feel your pain!

Benjamin Moore Opal is a lovely sophisticated pink.

It will be the light. Dd's bedroom is North facing and the paint on her walls looks a totally different colour depending on the time of day and which direction the sun is coming in. The paint in dh's north dacing office looks entirely different to the same paint in our hallway.

Blossom white has pink and lavender undertones

5 days 😂

‘Will people stop saying this’

Exactly this ^

In my experience, having a paint matched to a Farrow & Ball or Little Greene (or whatever) colour is never great. The finish is totally different too - the likes of valspar etc will never have the chalky finish of those brands.

I still recall our joiner who'd taken what felt like forever (literally two years!) to make our new casement windows for the front of our last house a few years back. We told him our other windows and doors were Little Greene 'Silt' exterior eggshell and he said he'd get this and paint them ahead of fitting. I was so disappointed when they turned up a horrible brown colour that was nothing like LG Silt! He'd had the paint colour-matched, not sure who by now though. We did live with it because we were selling.

I have heard that Johnstone's are the best for getting colours right, but haven't tried it as I'd always much rather pay the extra to get the real thing.

As it's the first thing you see when coming into your house @TailorTack, I'd definitely redo it in actual Farrow & Ball Tailor Tack (having first tried large samples on white card/paper in various locations at different times around your space!).

The pink you have on your walls has quite a distinct blue undertone - so I think it may be pretty pink rather than blossom pink although the latter also has a bit of blue in some of the pictures on the website. The problem with blue is that it really over emphasises itself when it is up on the walls in bulk compared with a sample.

You could try playing with the lightbulbs to see if it helps. Useful article here https://www.behr.com/colorfullybehr/how-lighting-affects-color/
If not then I would suggest that you bite the bullet with F&B paint and choose one that has no blue undertones at all. Dimity might also be worth a look. You could perhaps also think about a warmer undercoat colour - perhaps a very pale orange to warm it up a bit.

The colour you shared definitely had a blue undertone to me. Good advice to wait a while to see if it settles before rushing to change!

Here’s what I learned after painting every single room in our huge house:

• Buy the better paint. If you like the colour, go for the higher-quality one. If you buy a cheaper paint and end up hating it, you’ll spend more money repainting later.

• Don’t mix colours. It almost never turns out the way you expect.

• Always buy a tester first. Paint colours can look very different depending on the light in the room.

• Don’t plan painting for your day off. It’s easier to do it in smaller pockets of time—after the kids are in bed or over the weekend.

• Use a paint holder with a lid. Wrap your rollers and brushes in cling film and store them in the container. They can stay usable for days (sometimes even a week), so you don’t have to keep washing them or changing rollers.
