Farrow and Ball paint colours

7 replies

I am getting cupboards painted in Farrow & Ball paint. It is a large family room and in the kitchen end the cupboards are supposed to be painted in Wimborne White (we inherited them), but the colour looks more creamey than the colour chart. I am looking for paint for the cu-boards in the lounge end which I wanted lighter than the Wimborne White. Does anyone have any ideas? The walls are creamey so I don't want anything with a greyish tone.

Can't help with the colour but from experience I found F&B to be quite poor to stand up to the rigours of furniture use. Have you thought about dedicated furniture paint instead? I would recommend Tikkurila Feelings Furniture paint for such a job which can be colour matched to any F&B colour and it's super hard wearing.

I have cupboards in Wimborne white. It’s a warm white and I would have thought it was an excellent choice. I have it on woodwork throughout the house and it’s perfectly serviceable. Anything lighter may be glaring as opposed to a subtle white, in my view. Eggshell for interior woodwork is what you need.

All White is possibly brighter.

Big fan of Pointing here, a warm white

I love pointing it’s a nice chalky white.

Pointing is creamier than Wimborne White. The only "whiter" white they do is All White. We've used it for all our woodwork and it is a proper white but it's a soft white, not a pure brilliant white.

Thank you all for your comments. I think I shall get samples of Wimborne White (as I don't believe my kitchen units are this colour after all) and Pointing and go from there. Wish they weren't so expensive as it is so tempting to try more!
