Can F&B be used in kitchen?

We have repainted our kitchen, just freshened it up in dulux timeless. We have one large wall which we'd like to do in a different colour but having bought a few dulux testers there's not one I really like enough.

Looking at the F&B book there are so many more shades to choose from but is this paint ok to use in a kitchen?

Also if anyone else has used a F&B colour in the kitchen please share which one as I'm after some inspiration!

If you go to a proper paint shop ( not diy like B& Q ) they can match any colour ) so you can get your chosen colour but in a paint suitable for rooms that might have moisture in them kitchen/bathrooms ( we use Johnstone paint shops )

I have F&B in my kitchen on both my cabinets and my walls. It is fine. I also have it in my bathroom. Also fine.

Yes but it's not great if you need to wipe it clean.

I've had multiple fails with trying to colour match F&B.

I've just used modern emulsion in the bathroom. I was v dubious about having a slight sheen (i love love love the flat matt of estate emulsion) but actually it looks great and F&B lady in the shop said it was suitable for bathrooms, so presumably would work for kitchens too? It's supposedly more wipeable but haven't had to put it to the test yet...

My whole house is painted in F&B. It wipes clean fine (I have dogs)

Kitchen cabinets painted in f and b wiped down several times a week, absolutely fine.

Walls and kitchen presses in my house are F&B and have no problem with them. (Light Blue walls, Slipper Satin units-still love them after 10 years and had them repainted in the same colour.)

I have f&b all over my house, the colours are brilliant, tried deluxe colour and had to paint over it, 😃

Yes just use the modern emulsion rather than estate
