Bathroom Wall Paint - Egyptian Cotton?

[youvegottobekidding]

Our bathroom wall needs re-painting, it’s just a small bathroom, two walls, not very large, west facing I believe. Not a great deal of light coming in with one small window. White bathroom suite, white tiles. At the moment it’s a light-mid mixed greyish/blueish paint on it, not very good.

I was going to go for a beige colour but DH said it wouldn’t look right & could possibly look too yellow-y. So I’ve decided on Dulux Egyptian cotton. I don’t want to end up with slightly pink hues or blue hues or lilac or green hues. And I’ve had it white before & don’t want that either. So would Egyptian Cotton be a good choice? Something greige would be good.

We have Egyptian Cotton and it does look brownish in some lights.

I have this Egyptian cotton in my dining room and it's a good greige colour, it's a really nice colour xx

I've used egyption cotton before and really liked it.

I think Egyptian cotton has quite a strong yellow/green root. I’m not sure it’s what you’re looking for. Most of these neutral colours do have an undertone or either blue, yellow, or red, and that does often come out, so I don’t know that you’ll eliminate it entirely. I think the easiest way to choose colour is actually the farrow and ball website because they show you how to put colours together. You needn’t bother with their paint though

Get F and B skimming stone copied if you want a true greige. It's perfect. I've got it in the lounge and also had my kitchen cupboards painted in it.

Thank you everyone for your replies & recommendations. As it were DH went out late yesterday & got a tub of Johnstone’s seashell (he said it looked similar to Egyptian cotton on the tub - they didn’t have the bathroom paint in Egyptian Cotton only the normal emulsion) so he got that.

I did it last night, was a bit ‘oh it looks the same colour as masking tape’ like a bit yellow-y. But after a few coats (good job it’s only small walls) finishing this morning, it’s dried up to a near-decent colour, I can live with it.

That's good
