Recommend a grey paint with beige undertones

Am looking for a soft grey paint colour with beige undertones rather than bluey grey undertones if that makes sense. Would rather avoid f&b as bitter experience has taught me it does not fare well with kids!

We used strong white by Farrow and ball, colour matched to Dulux Endurance to make it more child proof. V light white/grey/beige depending on the light. Doesn't look blue in our room.

I've just been painting some shelves in Dulux Egyptian Cotton. It's a greyish beige colour. Probably a little more beige than grey. Or you could try Dulux Pebble Shore. It was slightly too grey for my purposes; it's a beige-ish grey.

Definitely Egyptian Cotton by Dulux - we have it in our kitchen and it's very durable. It's grey but a warm grey - slightly too mushroomy for my liking but definitely Brigid grey not blue-grey

We have Elephants Breath in the lounge (definitely beigey) but as suggested further up, I would get it colour matched as it marks very easily.
Have just used Dulux Pebble Shore in DS's bedroom. Definitely more grey than beige but really nice actually.
Have bought Egyptian Cotton for hall but not used it yet.
Also have Laura Ashley Dove Grey in a bedroom which is also a beigey grey.

Am favouring pebble shore at the moment but need to get a tester pot to try it out.

80s mum and mandy214 thank you pebble shore is perfect and have to admit I would have rejected it due to the green tint on the paint cards.

We used Dulux Nutmeg White in Endurance. Good match for F&B skimming stone.

Elephant's Breath by Farrow and Ball is fab - really beautiful and unusual - gets comments every time and is very beige -love it!

Dulux White Mist is very 'soft', not cold at all.

Cornforth White is exactly that. It's F&B but if you're really set against it, you can have it colour matches. Alternatively get the greys paint card from Little Greene. You'll be amazed at the lovely choices!
