A Dulux Alternative to F&B's Shaded and Shadow White?

[Jaydash]

Yep, another 'can't find a grey' thread! I was leaning towards the two titular colours however the painter (a family member) insists that he won't touch Farrow & Ball, so that's that. He likes to use Dulux, but despite pouring over many charts both Dulux and Armstead, and consulting e-paint etc, I can't find anything similar.

The e-paint match to one of the colours is Bleached Lichen, but I can see straight away that it's more pinky without even buying a tester. To me, Shadow and Shaded appear to be neutral greige with a slight leaning towards green; the perfect colours to go with a slate grey leather sofa, which is obviously darker but I think also has a very slight green tinge. It's hard to tell.

So, ideally I need something that's slightly more on the beige side than it is grey, but without any red or blue undertones. Any ideas? Any pics? TIA.

Any reason why you can’t colour match it? ( ie have it scanned and mixed up for you?)

NB. Sorry I don’t know what “ e paint match” is

I took the F&B chart (which supposedly contains actual paint chips) in to a Dulux colour match centre and they came up with a couple of colours which were not exactly close. They were keen to push me to choose from a Dulux coour from the start, but told me there were 20,000 or whatever!

Johnstone's are better at matching to F&B. Would he work with Johnstone's colour matched? It's quite nice to work with. It flows more freely than Dulux but the coverage is excellent.

It might help to start with a couple of Dulux mainstream ones in the right ballpark, Eg rock salt and Egyptian cotton, and work from there whether you want lighter/darker/cooler/greener or whatever with the custom mixes.

You really need to see them in the room itself, not the showroom. The sofa will have a big impact on how green the paint looks.
