Colour match to Farrow and Ball Hague Blue

We were all set to go out and buy F&B Hague Blue until reading comments on here about it. We are a family of 5 with a dog and need a paint we can wipe finger marks and other mess off. Has anyone found a good colour match to Hague Blue? Looked at Little Greene, Johnstones and Dulux but don't know what to go for.

I had my farrow and ball paint colour matched in Johnstone’s acrylic durable Matt emulsion.

Off topic, but I'm in the middle of planning my DIY Kitchens layout and wanted to have them painted in Hague Blue. I recently received a sample of the Norton shaker door in Cobham Blue and it appears to me to be a very close match to Hague Blue. Can anyone verify this?

The modern emulsion by F and B is wipeable. Personally I think the colourmatching doesn't give the same depth of colour.

We have actually got eggshell on our hall walls (by accident!) and it looks great.

We used Hague Blue colour matched by johnstones. Side by side with F&B you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. We got the wipeable version. We have F&B elsewhere in house, it's just not durable enough if you have a busy household (children/pets/clumsy people).

Thanks @Kamma89. We will wait till the Johnstones place near us opens back up then. We are definitely a busy household as you described in brackets!

Modern emulsion by F&B (not estate!) is practically indestructible. I have it behind my Hob in a pale colour and even turmeric or tomato splashes wipe off easily. It is fabulous paint!

We have a crown colour match and it looks amazing. We had f&b railings put on our staircase handrail at the same time and it has started to crack and peel off at certain points. Will be using crown colour match again to go over it when the decorators are in after lockdown.

We will be painting ourselves, so need something fairly easy to use
