What colour F&B for painting my house number on my wheelie bins?

[contortionist]

I have three wheelie bins - brown for garden waste, blue for recycling, and green for general waste. I was thinking maybe cooking apple green for the brown one, babouche for the blue bin, and elephant's breath for the green. Any suggestions? What do other people have?

Tbh I,think you need to keep it neutral and uniform, perhaps a slipper satin on all three? You want to be careful using so many strong, different colours, it could end up looking a bit "dulux"

What if people thought you'd been to Johnsons & had it colour matched, you'd have to move immediately?

I can't believe you're trying to make such an important design decision by asking for opinions on an internet forum . PM me and I can give you the details for a really good colour consultant who will mix the pigments herself to create your own individual range - none of these commercially available hackneyed choices - she was so worth the £15,000 I paid her.

If you pick 'pointing' you bins may become shy all of a sudden !

Sorry but are you serious ?

ha ha ha. brilliant.

Snort!

Can you render your wheelie-bins and make them into three ornate but distinctively different wedding cakes, where coloured "icing" detail is the cue to the bins use? Rose ornamentation for the garden waste, beverage bottles and cans for the recycling one, and cracked eggs and pigs knuckles for the general waste?

I would not use FB it is so out, go with Little Greene paint company.

Snort!

Have you considered guilding?

I once gilded a toilet bowl, and painted the floor a lovely turquise.

OP, you are to be bulled for the mouthful of coffee I hve just wasted due to your post :)

oh, and have you considered Laura Ashley wallpaper instead? Works well if your property is listed....

red, I t-h-i-n-k the OP is joking?

Gosh. I used Tippex.

I reckon you live in my borough op!

I have just ordered some nice stickers from Amazon for my wheelies. Cos I am well clarsy-like.

I t-h-i-n-k I was double-bluffing.

You should have looked in Poundland - you wouldn't know the difference

Never mind the colours, what kind of specialist primer will you need?

redandblacks - I've been looking in my local Poundland for months but they never have all three of my numbers in at once! Its not one of those jobs where you can just make-do with other numbers...

I have opened this to suggest Fowler Pink, but see that you are not being serious .

This is called a joke for those who think irony is flattening clothes.

And a good one too!
