Warm cream farrow and ball colour

Hi everyone, I really need some help and advice please. I'm having my pale grey gloss kitchen units professionally sprayed next month and need to choose a colour. Which sounds easy enough but I'm struggling.

I've got dark grey work top which I'm keeping, so need something to go with that. I'm thinking of a nice warm cream, preferably a Farrow and Ball colour. I like skimming stone but worried that will be too grey. Can anyone give me any ideas please?

The kitchen gets morning sunlight, is quite a small but bright room.

Thanks so much.

Skimming stone isn’t grey in my kitchen (on the walls). It’s a warm beige rather than cream tho, but would look lovely with grey tops imo

I drove myself insane trying to find the right cream F&B colour; while it's sometimes good to have a narrower, curated selection, it's not so great when you have something specific in mind and they don't actually have that particular shade that you've imagined.

I ended up not going cream at all in the end because I wanted something a bit more saturated and was too scared about going into magnolia territory, so I went with a Benjamin Moore white. I found both Benjamin Moore's selection and customer service to be way better than the F&B one; they will actually have the colour you have envisioned/want instead of forcing you to pick from whichever ones they deem to be worthy.

Oh rats. I thought this was going to be an free and frank discussion into to pros and downfalls of body painting. 😐

pointing is lovely

Thanks so much everyone, I had also looked at Dimity.
I feel like I have colour paralysis and am so worried about getting it wrong!
i think I might get a couple of tester pots to get a better idea of colour.

hope you’re not too disappointed @TwoLeftSocksWithHoles 😂

If you want to save a bit of money (and avoid wasted paint) you can buy pre-painted cards on Etsy!

Dimity
we have just painted much of our downstairs with it. Beautiful and has depth and warmth.

@YourOliveBalonz oh thanks for this tip, I’ll have a look.

Another vote for dimity. Have it in a few places in my house and it’s warm and subtle

Pointing is a lovely shade but I wouldn't put it with grey, it's very warm. I think you'd be better going for a griege shade to tone with the dark grey work top. Try something cooler like Little Green Limestone
