I'm having kittens! Meant to be having the playroom decorated tomorrow in F&B French Gray. It's currently skimming stone and it just looks bland with the white storage units in there. It's a south facing room so is always pretty light and very sunny in the summer. But I'm feeling really anxious in case it looks too dark. I wanted a sagey sort of colour as we look into it from the kitchen and also we have green in our toy baskets. I'll try to attach a photo!

I would be so grateful for any words of wisdom and any photos of your French Gray. I am aware this is a complete FWP but I don't want to make another mistake.

Thank you!

It is quite sagey!
We had a wall painted that colour (colour match rather real F&B) last week - really like it. It’s more sagey than I thought it would be actually, I thought it would be more grey

Thanks - do you have a photo of it please? We are also having one wall in our north facing sitting room painted in it!

I will do one later for you. I think it’s a slightly darker colour than the bottom of your 2-tone baskets, but same tone

That's so kind of you - thank you.

Yes, that's brilliant, thanks so much. Is your room south facing. It looks lovely by the way x

No problem. Our room is north facing so I guess yours would end up a bit lighter
