South facing 10 year old daughter's bedroom - which Farrow and Ball?

Hi all - wondering which Farrow and Ball you'd recommend for a light and bright bedroom for my 10 year old daughter? Her sister has Borrowed Light and Pointing and is exquisite, but we want something different. Anything work well for anyone?

Also, any suggestions for a south-facing, very small room for my 7 year old boy? Looking at Arsenic?

How about Cornforth White? A pretty grey/blue. Or Calluna which is lilac-y?

Wow, Arsenic would be brave Grin I like the idea of green, but might be less brave and go for Teresa's Green or Cooking Apple Green.

I'd also have a look at Little Greene colours, they have less "muddy" colours than F&B, somehow the cleaner colours seem a bit better for a child's room.

gosh I'm always amazed how many mumsnetters want to choose farrow and ball paint - talk to any decorator - it is reallly not that good paint - particularly for houses containing children!! ask anyone who has put it on the wall going up stairs with young children - the finger marks are shocking - it is a very chalky paint which marks easily, is thin to apply AND the colours available are so limited if you compare it to the charts of the other "premium" paint companies - PLEASE go take a look at Little Green or Paint and Paper or Fired Earth!!!
