Any recommendations for greige paint?

Just that really. I'm looking for a greige paint that's not too dark. Any recommendations? Not F&B though, it's a bit out of my budget

Many thanks

Just used Blissful Silence- Wickes own paint, in a bedroom. It’s grey side of greige. It looks lovely - very matte and just enough warmth. I tried a tonne of testers!!
B and Q Lauren is very like F and B Elephants Breath. Valspar will colour match anything too- but it had higher VOCs so I didn’t want to use it.

Elephant’s Breath Farrow & Ball 👌

We've just colour matched Cornforth white using Johnstone's paints. Our decorator recommended it and it's gone on really well.

Dulux Egyptian cotton is my favourite neutral paint

We have perfectly taupe in the bathroom and it’s lovely

Polished pebble.
Elephant's breath (but get B& Q to colour match it for half the price).

Elephants breath made me giggle. I l9ve paint names 🤣

I've just done my living room in Egyptian Cotton and am so pleased with it. It's grey in some lights but a soft warmer colour in others. I was worried from the tester that it would be quite dark and depressing but it's not at all. The actual paint seemed lighter than the tester.

We have Egyptian Cotton too, lovely warm neutral, looks more browny for is as south facing though. Goes with anything too.

Dulux Just Walnut

Love Dulux just walnut but it looked pink in our house. We have Dulux heritage ash white now and it’s perfect
