Can anyone recommend a nice neutral/white colour to go with a bottle green (Dunelm paint) feature wall please. North facing room with a brown sofa.
Also looking for accessories - curtains, cushions, artwork. Thank you.

I adore steamed milk by rustoleum and it has gone with the greens I've thrown it with (not bottle).
I'd definitely test it in your room though as it can look a little grey and flat if it's a room without much natural light.

Also love skimming stone by farrow and ball against my green velvet sofa!

Thank you @botleybump . It's so hard finding the right neutral/white - I definitely don't want a grey/grey tones and nothing too creamy/beige/bluey.

Slimming stone is definitely a grey (albeit a soft warm one) It also has an almost identical match in Duluth Egyptian cotton.

I'm also wondering about Dulux White Cotton, Rock Salt or White Mist - any thoughts anyone please? Or maybe Cornflower White (or is that too blue/grey)?

I have Dulux White Mist in a south facing living room and it is just a slightly true grey side of white (with no hint of pink, purple, yellow or beige in its base)

Farrow and ball James White or School House White

I'm going to use F&B Wimborne white in my house as it is very soft white.

These threads are a little pointless really. You just can’t tell until you put some up on you wall. Every room will look different due to light levels and the other things you have in your room.

what I would say I’d don’t obsess too much. Only pick from a maximum of about six since after that the similarities/differences are negligible and once it’s up you won’t notice. Just initially focus on whether you want a white with red, yellow or blue undertones and then pick a few from those groups.

wimbourne white for example reads very yellow/cream. If that’s what youre after pick a few from that group and then put them up on the wall in large areas (on at least two different walls) and then just pick the nicest one.

Dulux Natural Hessian, very neutral but on the warmer beige side rather than colder grey.
