Soon moving to new house which has all woodwork painted in Pointing, which I would like to keep if poss (liked the look if it and want to save the money/hassle). We want to change the wall colours and also ceiling.
Ceilings are currently painted something paler than pointing which, given there are picture rails, means there is a 3-tone effect round the picture rail. I want to do the ceiling same colour as woodwork so there's more continuity.
Current colour scheme plan after carrying F&B colour fan with me wherever I go for the last month and spending a fortune on tester pots is:
Dining Room & Sitting Room: Off White
Kitchen: Slipper Satin walls, French Gray cabinets
Bathroom: Slipper Satin walls, Hardwick White bath panel, basin unit etc
Lobby, stairs & Bedrooms: Clunch walls
Will Pointing on woodwork and ceilings work with this? Worried it's not really light enough against Slipper Satin, and my tester has come out looking more yellowy-milky-cream than I expected. When I've seen it in situ it looked a lot more greigy toned. I've also heard it can look yellow against Slipper Satin. Wondering if I should try Wimborne White as well, although the idea of totally repainting all the doors and windows puts me off too much.
Most of our furniture is antique pine so scheme needs to keep a certain amount of warmth (anything colder/greyer, like Shaded White etc, doesn't seem to work with it), so in that sense I suppose Pointing is pretty good. I just don't want any actual yellow tones. The overall sort of feel I'm going for (although sadly new house is nowhere near as gorgeous or rustic) is close to this.
