I'm trying to find/match the paint colour of the kitchen units - bottom units - in this photo.

Does anyone have any ideas??

Sorry if it's tricky to see from the photo, but it's a pale brown-grey-mocha colour. I'm eyeing it up as an alternative to cream/grey for my kitchen units

I have Perfectly Taupe by Dulux (I think) which looks similar. It is greyish, with browny purple undertones. I also have Dove Grey by Next, which is brownier but similar too. Paints look different in different contexts, don't they?

I agree, it looks different in different lights. We have just used Dulux Pebble Stone, it looks quite similar to that. We also have Laura Ashley Dove Grey in our bedroom and that's similar too.

Have you looked at F&B Elephant's Breath?

mandy214 · 20/08/2014 14:57

I don't think its Elephants Breath (although stand to be corrected). We have that in our lounge and it is more beige / greige and darker I think than the OP's photo.

Egyptian Cotton?

Bambi75 · 20/08/2014 15:52

Thanks all for the suggestions! I thought it could be elephants breath but Egyptian cotton does actually look very close! I shall get a sample. I have discovered that the photo is of a John Lewis kitchen range so I might also call their customer service on the off chance they can track the colour down.

It's a Mereway kitchen - if you contact them direct they are more likely to give to a BS paint number. Could be turtle dove lower and chalk white upper. ( that's their names for the range rather than paint colours ) they have a website with contact button ! Best of luck !!

Bambi 75 I saw that very kitchen today! It's on the JL of Hungerford website and it says "paint Finishes: Artemisia, Flour & Cocoa". i assume it's the Cocoa but I think they might mix their own paints.

I love their Shaker kitchens but when I (hopefully) get my new kitchen early next year my budget will be around £10K which I know won't be enough for one of them. They also have this divine grey granite worktop I lust after but flip knows where I'd get the money for that either.

It wouldn't let me post the direct link to "your" kitchen. It's the middle one in the bottom row.
