Any Little Greene blue experts about?

I'm going to have a painted kitchen.
Pale, almost white Silestone worktops.
I thought I'd have the units a pale blue grey with a darker island.
The kitchen painter highly rates Little Greene.

So far I've come up with
Bone China Pale on units with Bone China Deep on island

Echo or Drizzle on units with Mono on island

Gauze pale on units with Gauze Deep on the island.

I'm going to get some sample pots but see if anyone has any advice first.
Its a big, light room if that makes any difference.

Thanks so much.
I'm wondering about gauze on the walls with mid & deep on the units. Would you consider them a definite colour or a pale wash IYKWIM?

I fancy Hicks Blue as a dark blue for my next project... Interested in what you decide.

Hicks blue is lovely.
Gauze is quite subtle and could look quite washed out if that's what you like.
I think bone china is bluer than gauze which can look slightly green in some lights, mind you I'm remembering these colours in my head, I don't have the chart to hand at the moment ( but I did work selling them so know the colours quite well).

Thanks so much.
I'm dithering about kitchen colours. I'd probably have chosen French Grey but DH is adamant he doesn't want a grey kitchen. I love pale blue but not a bright blue so I think I'll get testers for the gauze & bone china colours. I'll report back.

scrabbles for colour chart they are lovely shades but because the worktop has a greyish streak running through (pretend carrera marble)I think I need to stick to the blue/grey shades.
Thanks so the advice though, its invaluable.

Hi,little green eco eggshell is a good choice,I would always go for a darker colour on the Island and base units,think top to bottom,light to dark,its all about balance,I would always use Albany oil based primer tinted to as near as possible to the finished colours,if you need to know more ask me and I will try to help x

Have you tried starling's egg? It's like early summer morning.
