A bit more grey than F&B Peignoir?

[SlightlyJaded]

But still with a pink base?
I've looked at Little Greene - Dash of Soot but any other suggestions?

DD (teen) wants a grey that will work well with her fairy lights and trailing leaves... I wish she didn't want grey, but she does. I've tried to steer her towards a pinker grey as I think this will work best with the green accents. Peignoir looks ok in some pictures but she is definitely not a 'pinky pink' person and I think that her room which is big and hugely light, will turn it very pink or lilac.

So something LIKE peignoir but a bit less pink please and thank you!

These are ALL greyer than Peignoir.
Greyer = less Chroma, or nearer to neutral.

Use their Hue Angles to plot them on the Color Strategist Color Wheel.

They are all greyed-out, knocked-back colours, from either the Red or Yellow-Red Hue Families.

NCS = Johnstone’s

Dulux - use the code numbers rather than the names. Their Code No. system is international but the names are often changed locally. (These are the American names)

Note that near neutral colours from this region of the colour wheel can shift purple in imbalanced lighting. They aren’t purple and don’t have purple ‘undertones’. Colour shift is due to light quality and context.

So any grey colour from this Hue Family neighbourhood needs testing in your space, so there are no surprises.

This is incredibly helpful - thank you so much. I'm printing off the colour wheel and going to try and understand it!

I was hoping you'd be along. The Tikkurilla shade looks promising - I'll get some testers now.

P.s. The colour wheel just illustrates that (almost) EVERY paint colour available to us from these High St brands belongs to a measurable Hue Family.

Colours near to 53° Hue Angle are close relations to Peignoir. Those a bit further away, cousins or good neighbours. They share a common thread of colour DNA.

The Tikkurila colour is certainly lower in Chroma than Peignoir, but also further anti-clockwise back towards the Red-Purple Hue Family. So you may get moments of that.

If any greys you try feel too purpleish? then thats the signal to move neighbourhood and try similar colours, but perhaps more from the middle of the Yellow Hue Family.

See the Colorographies at the Land of Color for greys from those locations ( Hue Family )
