here's the deal - I now have no less then ELEVEN tester paint pots and none of them are any good

have an interesting stripey look going on in my dining room!

i'm looking for a paint colour that's a beigey cream, and all the ones I've chosen are too pink, too yellow, too yucky brown, too greeny

anyone got a suggestion?

need to get this nailed or dh will just paint it magnolia...

have you tried maybe matchstick or house white?

house white looks too green, but matchstick and natural wicker are both possible

where can I get farrow and ball paint?

thanks both

B&Q I think. Or Homebase

Dulux gardenia. A bit whiter than natural wicker (which is also v nice, I think) but doesn't have as much yellow as magnolia.

Farrow and Ball string. I paint every house/flat I have ever owned in this. It's brilliant. Neutral enough to take any material/pictures etc but not too flat/white
etc

I always think that Dulux Barley White is the best creamy cream about in all light conditions. I have used it in several homes and it always looks right. Also, make sure that you are using more of a matt finish with creams to get fewer and more flattering reflections off a light paint colour.

Magnolia is a beigey cream colour!

Just get that and then tell anyone who asks it's a Farrow & Ball

Bathstone Beige by Dulux is lovely - and good in all lights.
