What wall colour to counteract blue hue from Pilkington Active skylight?

[Falcon1]

Please help. We have a conservatory that is attached to our playroom/dining room. We've just had a solid roof put onto it (to make it more of a proper room), with two skylights at the end nearest the playroom. We were advised to get Pilkington Active Blue glass to avoid solar gain (our biggest concern about the conservatory). However, this has resulted in a blue hue to the light in the room which makes it seem very cold, despite it being south facing.

We were going to paint the walls a light grey to go with the windows and doors (which we'd already had painted in Farrow and Ball Manor House Grey), but now I'm worried that the effect is all going to be too dreary with the blue hue.

Does anyone have any idea about how to work with this? The decorator arrives on Wednesday and I've no idea what to go with!

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

The opposite of blue on the colour wheel is yellow, but I'm not sure that would be ideal. Choose some warmer greys, and possibly greens, and paint colour swatches, see what you like.

I had a similar issue re conservatory glass casting a cool filter over everything but a northeast facing room so even more of an issue. I wanted a cool grey but the only one I could make work without it looking blue was Elephant’s Breath (and it does look lovely - I was convinced it would be beige but some strange alchemy happened in my cool light). I tried a LOT of testers.

You could also try Wimborne white- we’ve used that in our problem room too.

Thanks for your replies. Secondsop, interesting that you got Elephant's breadth to work. I had discounted that colour as I thought it might be too brown. I've tried Ammonite, Dimpse, Pavilion Grey and Wevet, all of which are supposed to go with Manor House Grey. Dimpse and Pav Grey are awful - look way to blue. I like Wevet but it's a bit too white. So Wimborne would be too. Ammonite is the current favourite but I may well try Elephant's breadth - thanks for the recommendation.
