Isn't there a DIY store where you can take the exact colour you want and they'll duplicate it for you? Not sure if I dreamt this.

ArriettyJones · 30/05/2020 20:03

Johnson’s paint do that @JuniorMumto1

ArriettyJones · 30/05/2020 20:04

Sorry, that should be Johnstone’s.

Ohh really that's interesting. I'm rubbish with decorating so I just want to copy the colour scheme off this picture. Thanks

Homebase do a colour matching scheme too

RJnomore1 · 30/05/2020 20:11

Email sofology and ask them.

isittimetogotobed · 30/05/2020 20:18

I have emailed sofoligy but they said it's 'digitally altered' so they can't help

Thank you @ArriettyJones Glad to know I didn't imagine it

It's honestly completely irrelevant anyway. It would look completely different on your walls even if you could buy the actual same paint

Have a look at paints like Littke Green and get some sample pits and some lining paper and that'll give you a good idea of what the colour looks like on the various walls at different times of the day.

Good luck finding something you love.

Ps: the colour matching service is quite good if you have a piece of wall
Paper or a throw or something you want to 'match' and lots of places will 'colour' their paint to F&B colours etc but it won't look the same because the paint itself is different. It's often 'good enough' for a lot of people who just like the colour (and aren't quite so fussy about the finish, or prefer a different finish).

It looks like Farrow and Ball Card Room Green or Valspar Thames Fog - we have something similar in our house

Gunpowder · 30/05/2020 20:44

Yes I’d check it again at F&B card room green or maybe Green Smoke?

Or there’s a Heritage (Dulux) colour called waxed khaki which is similar too I think! Hard to tell on a phone.

Again = against

GiveMeStrengthOrAHobby · 30/05/2020 21:03

Looks like a sage green i had on my bedroom walls i think it was a homebase one

Somanysocks · 30/05/2020 21:15

Or French Grey from f&b.

ChickNorris · 30/05/2020 22:44

Only guessing here but maybe have a look at English Grey by Sanderson.

Thanks to you all
