Colours that go with Egyptian cotton paint?

[screentime1000]

I'm trying to decide what colour to do my living room. I'm considering doing a feature wall in Egyptian cotton and the other walls in an off white.
I was thinking Egyptian cotton and rock salt but I'm a bit worried the rock salt may be a bit grey to go with It.
Has any one else done similar? Which colours did you use?

Can u post a pic of your livingroom and paint sample?

My fave thing about Dulux is that they literally tell you what goes.

I had Egyptian Cotton in my living room for years. It's a nice neutral colour but it is very beige. How do you see it working as a feature wall, would you not need another more vibrant colour as the feature?

I have Egyptian Cotton in my bathroom and it looks almost sage green. I think even if it shows up grey/beige in your home, pale sage green works very well with it.

We had it with lime green. Looked great bizarrely.

I agree with PPs - I like Egyptian Cotton (I have it in my hall/stairway), but it is definitely a neutral, you can’t have it as a feature with another neutral. Either all Egyptian Cotton, or have it as the neutral with a stronger colour feature wall.

I agree it would go nicely with a sage green, or a dusky blue perhaps?

Ok I think feature wall is the probably the wrong way of describing it!
Essentially I wanted to use it for the whole room but the tester made it look quite dark. I then read a few posts on Mumsnet about people saying it makes the room gloomy especially in winter and can look a bit sludgy. Which is something I really want avoid. I thought maybe having the Egyptian cotton on the main wall (it has the tv and fire place) and then an off white of some description on the other walls would be a way to avoid this. I'm not very good with interior design and picking colours etc

I see what you mean, but still no I think - it would look odd paired with another neutral. I think it would like nice on all the walls (it looks quite pale on my walls, not dark at all).

We have Egyptian cotton as a feature wall in our bedroom with Summer linen everywhere else. Really works as its not obvious, we also used the silk option as that gave it a touch of luxury

We have just moved to a house with interior walls painted in Dulux Khaki Mists 5. Before I knew, I was convinced it was Egyptian Cotton, but I can see the green in some lights.

Hi…. So I’m questioning myself here….
we have 4 children, 18,12,10,8.
We work hard, have a nice home, just about make ends meet to give us and the children a nice life.
On a Friday we like to go to our local pub, a lovely country park, with a kids play park etc, lovely atmosphere, our youngest in particular actually asks us when we pick her up from school on a Friday if we can go to the pub. The kids enjoying it, more often that not they have friends there, so can play etc, have a can of pop and a bag of sweets.
Sometimes, we go out as a couple if we’re going out with friends or if there is a band on or anything like that and we’ll have a late one and get a little drunk, up until recently the 18 year old would babysit as we’d pay here but the past few months this has got less and less and she’s telling us she shouldn’t be doing it, which is fair enough. Sometimes we ask grandparents but they don’t really want to have the kids and we are always governed with times etc.
We went to our sons football Christmas party at this pub on Friday evening, the grandparents had the two youngest and we said we’d collect them on the way home (as they didn’t want to sleepover), so party started at 7, then we got a message at 10.45 saying grandad was sat in the car park and the girls had had enough…. (I asked the girls the next day and they said there were fine).
Im on here now as my 18 year old is telling me there is something wrong with this and telling me it’s wrong for us to want to go out and let our hair down… ? Is it? Should I just be a Mum, day in, day out. Because my life at the moment is I get up, sort the kids, take them to school, work, pick them up from school, give them tea, clean up from tea, go to bed…. To be honest the 18 year old has really annoyed me with this and made me feel like absolute shit!
