Classy neutral paint colours

[Steph1902]

Paint recommendations please! Have a relatively small hallway with not.much natural light. Have cookie dough on at the momet but want a fresh and brighter but classy paint look. Beige but not too yellow. F&B is out of my price range so any recommendations gratefully recieved! Thinking natural hessian but not sure if too yellow. Have oak floor and cream/white hall furniture. Bonus points for photos! Thank you x

I'd just pick a farrow and ball and have it paint matched.

We’ve just decorated our spare room with the valspar paint match of farrow and ball school house white. Check it out it’s so calming I love it.

Il have a look, thanks. What's the valspar paint like.. have heard differing things x

Absolutely fine, think there had been problems with a smell previously but we had nothing and used it to paint wardrobes and walls. Excuse the mid decorating mess

Looks lovely! Thank you il have a look to see where they do that

We have natural hessian throughout the house, so it gets a variety of light. It can look pale grey or very mildly with a hint if sage, but not at all yellow.

Hi, yes this is one of my options... have you got any photos as my hall can be a bit dark

We had natural hessian in our old house in the bedroom, it was nice, I wouldn't say yellow but very much on the brown spectrum. I've just painted our new bedroom with Egyptian cotton which I love, it's a greyer beige, looks different in daylight vs electric light. Really pleased with it!

Oops, @Clarabellawilliamson just made me realise I was confused. What I meant to describe was egyptian cotton! We also had natural hessian in a previous house - like you say, it's like a sort of earthy oaty colour.

I've got F&B Shadow White (colour matched at Johnstones) in my dark hall.

Just gave it a freshen up actually- it's a lovely neutral beigey white!

See pic

Not my hall (I wish!) - I'd post mine but it would be outing!

Dulux Egyptian Cotton, Natural Calico or Rock Salt. Polished pebble for a grey tone.
Johnstones Antique cream.
Also a fan of just simple white

Dulux just walnut. Nothing like the name my house is very neutral (im too indecisive for bold)

Painting my lounge accent wall with F& B Skimming stone.Any advice on a white to go with it.Want it pale room north facing.Have tried strong white but too grey.Carpet is a parchment colour and have mostly oak furniture.Thank you

We used Egyptian cotton in bedroom. I love it. It's been 10 years and I still love it.

This week just had our dark hallway painted in Egyptian cotton and I love it.

Agree with those who suggest colour matching F&B. It's not exactly the same, but it's still pretty convincing.

Colour match F and B's Slipper Satin. It's warm, pale and not at all yellow, I have it in four rooms!

Dulux Jasmine White
