another FandB paint colour thread

My kitchen paintwork is looking somewhat tired and grubby and as the weather is rubbish I have decided to paint today.

I have a tin of F and B Dimity, which I really like, but I want to paint the chimney breast and coving a strong colour and am not sure which colour would contrast well with this. Looking at the FandB website has not helped. Has anyone used a strong contrasting colour with Dimity? I am quite keen on lulworth blue, but dont really trust my own judgement as I have made some very questionable choices in the past!

No idea about Dimity I'm afraid but just wanted to say i used lulworth blue together with Borrowed Light in a bedroom and it looked really nice. Probably no help\interest at all though!

Dimity is pinkish, so I'd use a stronger pink with it (if you use a blue it could look a bit nursery-ish?) Something like Smoked Trout/Dead Salmon?

Or maybe a grey with mauvey undertones, like Dove Tale.

Thanks both.
I have borrowed light in a bedroom and love it too!
Mini, I was afraid no blues would go, as dimity is a pink based neutral. I am really not keen on going for strong reds/pinks. its far out of my comfort zone.

I second the Dead Salmon suggestion.
