A greens grey paint, but for a North facing room

We have a large north facing downstairs room, used as a playroom. Flooring will be amtico in a dark oak, we have this rug tm-interiors.co.uk/rugs-brands/harlequin-floreale-rug-maize-44906, sofas are mid grey, curtains are a pale gold damask.

I was hopeful for f&b mizzle www.farrow-ball.com/paint-colours/mizzle but despite what they say, I think it looks a bit too blue and I think that may be because the room is north facing.

Any other suggestions please? I’ve also tried dulux Jurassic stone (too pale) and f&b french grey (too dark).

We had the same issue and eventually found Dulux Bleached Lichen 4, it's beautiful with a green undertone.

It turned out lovely. Smile

I have learnt from this thread that I have the most odd room. I have dulux bleached lichen 4 in a bedroom and so I tried it in this room too. No green to it at all in this room! It was very stone-like. It has really defied all thinking.

@WellTidy - that is beautiful and I have really enjoyed reading the thread! Given me lots to think about (I am having the same issues as you wanting a green for a north facing hallway!)

Wow! That looks FAB with your rug!
So thoughtful of you to share it with us.
Much appreciated!

I'm very aware of how grey the paint looks in the photo. Its so hard to capture in a photograph. It isn't at all grey, it is a proper green. I've put all the furniture back in now - its a playroom, so lots of colour - and it looks a great deal less calm ...
