Farrow & Ball Elephants Breath and Manor House Gray

[Frenchchic]

After dithering over many colours I have narrowed it down to F&B Elephants Breath and Manor House Gray.

I am decorating my bedroom in new house so is the first time and I'm excited but nervous. Really want to get it right!

Went to Homebase but they only had Elephants Breath tester pot. I tried it in two places and looks lovely, very unusual. Definitely greige though rather than grey. Am thinking of still getting a tester pot for Manor House Gray but was wondering if anyone has used these two and could give any advice? Oh, and my room gets plenty of natural light but is north west facing. These two colours apparently do well in this kind of light but would love advice from someone who has actually tried them.

Alwayscheerful - started painting today. Elephant's Breath and Wimborne White. Am so grateful for your advice - you really know your stuff! Big thank you to you and all the kind girlies who gave me all the help I needed to get started. Promise you won't hear from me again till it's time to do the kitchen!!!

Would love to see a picture when it's finished.

Post a picture once done. I would love to see the end result!

I've bought elephants breath for my hall which is quite dark & strong white for woodwork & ceiling...just having second thoughts it may be dark & dingy😏 Any advice?

I used Oxford Stone in our old house, with a lighter colour above the dado rail. It's a nice warm colour but lighter than EB.

We have Elephants Breath on walls of dining area, with Charleston Grey woodwork & radiator covers and Wimborne White ceilings. Units are in Skimming Stone. We love it!
