What colour is this?

Any idea what paint I could use to give me this smokey blue / green / grey? I would love to use this colour in my bathroom but nothing I’ve seen so far is as smokey. It’s definitely not true grey either though.

That’s weird it looks a lot more grey in the photo. Here’s a link which might show it better

What about something like this

Could you contact the company and ask what colours they use? Alternatively could you print/order a brochure and colour match it at b and q or a johnstones paint centre? My friend colour matched to a nail varnish so I’m fairly sure it’s possible

Yes that’s a good contender! Thanks. I’ll get a tester. I’ve never heard of Craig and Rose before. Are they good?

That’s a good idea Ohmymg. I didn’t know you could do that. I love the idea of colour matching a nail varnish!

Yes it’s lovely paint, I tend to only use C&R or valspar (B&Q paint, every colour under the sun). The latter only ever needs one coat and C&R definitely needs at least two but that’s about all I’d say. The colours are generally beautiful.

@Uhohmummy it was a mint green nail varnish and the paint was for her front door. It looks amazing Smile

Try having a look at lick paint, I’ve seen a few good reviews about them.

Paired the colour next to a couple from the website but obviously lighting can make a colour vary lots.

Thank you - I’ve never heard of this brand either. I’ll have a look.

I’ve been using Craig and Rose, lovely colours, really easy to work with, two coats, but there is practically no smell to the paints.
