Good neutral paint colour for living room and hall throughout the house?

[Onmytod24]

What’s a good colour for living room and hall if you want to paint it all the same colour? I would’ve gone for a Grey tones but I’m told that they’re finished.!

Portland Stone is aa good shout (Little Greene) or Skimming Stone (F&B) or Egyptian Cotton (Dulux).

The more beige tone neutrals are replacing the greys

Can’t go wrong with Egyptian cotton

Timeless

Have you looked at Benjamin Moore Linen White? https://www.benjaminmoorepaint.co.uk/colour-gallery/colour/linen-white/912/

Is there a way of leaving grey but not heading towards those ubiquitous ‘Magnolia’ tones?

Have a look at
Dulux natural calico
Dulux natural hessian
Dulux mellow mocha

I have natural calico in my lounge and the hall/stairs/landing. It’s a warm neutral.

Ive got Skimming Stone (F&B) upstairs and Egyptian Cotton (Dulux) downstairs. They're very similar. I love Egyptian cotton.

Dulux Natural calico is creamy, natural hessian is beige, both good.

Paint and paper library- Canvas 1 is my go to

We have Dimity by F&B. Love its depth.

I love Skimming Stone and Elephant's Breath for a bit more depth. Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee a safe bet too.

I have Lick white 06 - an off white with an undertone of pink. Love it!

As previous, Egyptian cotton is lovely. Have it in hall, staircase and upstairs hall. It’s a perfect neutral classy shade

Dead Salmon by Farrow & Ball.

We’ve got walnut something by Dulux which is a warm neutral but not yellow/cream, it’s v slightly pink

Farrow and Ball Dimpse
Or Antique white.

I never understood the grey everywhere fad. I mean we live with grey (clouds, rain or both) half the year as it is. Why have it indoors as well! Natural hessian is nice.

Dulux summer linen

Skimming stone (dupe!)

I'm in love with Wickes Chalk White.
The durable finish paint is fantastic quality.

F and B Dropcloth.

I've had Natural Hessian for about 15 years now and haven't had to redo it😄
Had Barley White for about 25 years before that but I don't know if they still do that.
It's all Anaglypta muted patterns so probably back in fashion.
Always silk finish for light reflection. Hate matt finishes.

The house we’ve moved to had Egyptian Cotton, and it looked quite yellow, must be how the light comes in. We’ve switched to Cancun by B&Q after trying probably 30 different samples, to find the right colour.

@Onmytod24 I've wasted many weeks in the past and spent a fortune on f**king F&B tester pots, and other posh paints. Which never look anything like the colour on the paint chart.

My advice is get the Dulux Heritage fandeck. https://www.duluxheritage.co.uk/en/products/details/dulux-heritage-fandeck

It's wonderful.You don't have to buy testers, because the colours are exactly the same as on the fandeck.

Last year I did a bedroom, hall and stairs in Green Marl (very very subtle green). Did other rooms in Alabaster White, a very safe warm off -white. All the colours are safe, actually, that is the beauty of Dulux Heritage.

For what its worth - Little Greene is much better than F and B and I used to be a F and B devotee

I have mellow mocha in a bedroom and its always looked faintly violet in colour there, nirth facing room, maybe that makes a difference. I like it but it's not the colour I expected
