Anyone used Calluna by F&B

[CambsAlways]

Deciding to decorate our bedroom after Christmas and wondering if anyone has used this colour( big fan of F&B paint)

I’ve tried using Calluna in two different houses, but never made it past the tester stage. In both houses it looked like a really cold colour, even in a sunny south facing room.

But if you like that kind of look, go for it! I’d still recommend getting a tester though 🙈

Alternatively if you are looking for something a bit warmer, but still soft, Farrow & Ball do some lovely pinks. I’ve just painted my bedroom in Pink Ground, with a dark wallpaper on one wall to stop it from becoming a bit too pastel-y. It looks gorgeous, if I do say so myself 😁

Hi crazzzycat at the moment chosen cornforth white for hall stairs landing currently undergoing the task of removing wallpaper, but got a tester for calamine put both on white card and they look nice together: haven’t got the tester for pink ground but I will certainly look for it when we start bedroom, it’s interesting to hear others views, love F&B we have used ammonite too lovely colour in our last home

I’m a big Farrow & Ball fan too 😄

Pink Ground isn’t too dissimilar from Calamine, it’s just a touch more yellow (see picture- pink ground in the middle, calamine on the right).

Something like Peignoir might be worth looking at too, which is more of pink-grey colour. I haven’t used that one myself, as sadly there’s only so many F&B colours I can fit into my house! 😁

Not much use but come on to say I love F&B paint too. It has real depth and changes colour slightly depending on the light. I've got Elephant's breath, Worsted, Down Pipe, Stiffkey and Purbeck Stone in the house. Expensive but worth it.

I have Calluna in my kitchen/diner with one wall Brassica. I think it looks nice!

Just put cornforth white calamine and peignor on white card to put up against walls in my house love these colours

I will add should have put two coats on the cards rather than the one
