Farrow and Ball Elephant's Breath

Has anyone managed to find a close equivalent to Elephant's breath in a different make? We had it in our old house and I loved it, but it wasn't really strong enough to withstand our family, and would come off with blue tack and stuff. I've tried a few test pots of other stuff, but even though they look the same on the pot, they're so different on a big area.

If you have a Leyland/Johnstone's paint supplier near you, they will colour match to all F&B paints. Not sure how accurate they look on the wall but, at half the price, worth a go?

I've used Johnstone Leyland colour matches - excellent colours and very hard wearing.

Why don't you get it in F&B modern emulsion? We've got that in a couple of rooms and it's held up well. Think the standard paint is much less tough.

I have used 'elephants breath' in Dulux trade diamond hard.Its meant to be scrubbable and the finish and colour appears to be the same as the coat of modern emulsion i used first.
