Does anyone know the equivalent Farrow and Ball shades for the standard DIY Kitchen colour range?

Trying to plan out diy kitchen at the moment. Don’t really want to pay for fully bespoke colours as I’ve heard it adds on about 20% to the price and it’s already climbing up!

So I’m thinking of doing a standard shade on most of the units but possibly a bespoke shade on the island. I do like the Dove Grey and am thinking perhaps F&B Railings for the island. But I would like to check the tones go together and it would be good to know what Dove Grey corresponds to. Or perhaps a whiter shade on the surrounding units.

Anybody? Have been doing lots of googling to try and work out what colour dove grey is in f&b but no joy.

I'm not sure they are mapped to F&B colours 🤷‍♀️ They're just colours, surely? Ours is Heron Grey if it matters.

You can see the difference in cost by changing the unit type either when browsing the units or when you've got a full basket by swapping the unit type at the top.

You paint the F and B colour on lining paper. Go to homebase - they put the scanner on the colour. You get then ask for kitchen or bathroom paint. I paid £30 for colour matched 2.5l bathroom paint; it was classed as an excellent match. You are not allowed to ask them to colour match to a brand - thats why you paint it on paper!

Ignore me - thought you wanted it for the walls!!
Duh - will go back to sleep.

These are what our designer ( Karen at OnePlan) told us, but we ended up having a ply door instead.

White is All white
Alabaster is James white

@corblimeygov just what I was after, thank you. I’ve seen Mussel listed as Shaded White before and one of the others, but wanted to check the tones on the grey.

Thanks!
