How hard can it be? Very apparently. I think I want something like this. Can I find it? Hell no. I keep finding things very similar but always a bit too dark. So annoying!

Shame it doesn't say what it is!

It's quite changeable, isn't it. Almost green, then quite cream in other areas. What about F&B James white? or Tunsgate Green?

Contact housetohome magazine. I did this after seeing a fabulous green used in one of their pictures and they sent me the full details. In case they often use the same brand of paint mine was by The Little Greene Paint Company.

Strong White, Shaded White, Dimpse or Mizzle by F&B. The first two are greeny whites.

Dulux Swansdown?

HereIAm20 · 17/09/2015 19:54

It looks like Dulux Gooseberry Fool 5 to me

NattyGolfJerkin · 17/09/2015 19:58

F&B old white is very similar

SwedishEdith · 17/09/2015 20:00

F&B Pale Powder?

BoutrosBoutros · 17/09/2015 20:06

I've just put Sanderson Willow Green in the hall. It's more green than white but is a similar shade - very fresh and calm and not too 'green'

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 17/09/2015 20:19

Maybe Filing Cabinet by Fired Earth.

endlessriver · 17/09/2015 20:42

Hardwick White by Farrow and Ball is fantastic

lalalonglegs · 17/09/2015 22:51

Looks like F&B Shaded White to me but the photo has been professionally lit and then enhanced on by the magazine designer which is why it is hard to pin point the walls' true colour.

On my phone so can't try it for you - but have you tried a reverse google image search? Might throw up the picture elsewhere with more info.

The wall the units are on looks very much like my kitchen. Units F&B White Tie and walls F&B Pavilion Blue. Are the other walls a different colour or is it just the way it is lit? We have F&B Dimity in our sitting room and it looks a bit like the other wall colour.

This is my kitchen in Gooseberry Fool 5 by Dulux. The lighting makes it look a bit grey green but it is definitely a pale sage green

There's a paint company's website - Sherwin Williams - that has a function where you can upload a picture/photo and hover over different areas, it tells you which of their colours they are. Allowing for some bits being in the shade etc.
then you could get a sample.

Another vote for F&B Old White. My mum loves this paint and has used it in many rooms in many houses! It changes from a relatively clean white to this sort of greeny-yellowy white depending on the light available.
