Has anyone found a perfect Duck Egg Blue paint?

[pecka]

Im searching for a duck egg blue paint but I now have 8 testers on the walls and none are right.

Has anyone else got this type of colour and can tell me what paint it is?

I like duck egg with a yellowish cream

enid that sounds lovely, v cornish

love that sea beet - and think it would look good with dk brown leather.

What colour are duck eggs? Last time I saw some for sale they were white.

Remember seeing little speckled blue ones in nests when I was a girl but they were little nests so not ducks!!

Always gorgeous duck egg blues in this catalogue - no idea where from just looks nice - sorry, I'm no help, am I?

we have a sort of duck egg colour in the dining room, with cream as well.
Does look v nice.

the laura ashley duck egg, i have got a sample of it and it looks a bit greeny rather than bluey

does it look very green on?

no it doesn't - wondering if I can put on a photo of it in our house. not really sure how to do this - give me a minute

ohhhh id love you if you did :D

trying to sort it now!

LA duckegg is beautiful

Not read whole thread but have you tried farrow & ball ?

oh you pile o wankers

I really like the Laura Ashley one. May well go for it in DD's bathroom.

Now.....to lower the tone I noticed ASDA did a duck egg blue paint. Shall I even try it?

omg this id freaky . i have been looking for a duck egg blue all week .

i settled for B AND Q 'S powder blue . i love it

I used Fired Earth/Kevin McCloud's Townhouse Blue in my old house, but I can't find the colour on the website. We had dark brown leather furniture and a teak parquet floor, and the townhouse blue looked lovely.

Sorry, not very helpful is it!

pecka - we painted our sitting room duck egg blue - found a colour in a mag that I liked and got Dulux to colour match it. We've since repainted it though as it actually felt a really cold colour when it was up on the walls. It is a big room though.

We painted with the faded gold colour from Laura Ashley and it looks great with brown leather sofas.

brown leather sofas

They sell paint on the oka website (the one in hunkers link), and have two blue/green colours called Shagreen and Skylight. Any good?

what have you gone for, because i want to copy, my brown sofas arrive in 2 weeks, and i want to paint before that, was thinkin one wall duck egg, and the others mocha,,,,
i looked at the laura ashley one it looks nice in there book but the colour on the tin lookks so different,

Have you tried Dulux Natural Collection (or colours of nature or something like that)? - this is a range with sand textured paint but I think they do matt as well. We bought "kelp" which we thought was pale sea green but looks more duck-egg on the wall.

not really duck egg but farrow and ball blackened (it's one of their "whites") is lovely. pale grey with a bluish tinge. We have it in our bedroom and I love it.

we have Farrow and Ball Blue Green (or Green Blue) and it is lovely but I suspect you want more of a grey tinge?
