Lighter version of F&B setting plaster?

7 replies

Currently decorating the nursery and totally stuck on colours. I’ve just tried a sample of f&b setting plaster, but it’s way too dark - the room is small and north facing and I’m worried the colour is just going to make it feel even smaller and gloomy. Any suggestions for a lighter version? I’m quite keen to keep the brown-y peach undertones if possible, I’m trying to avoid it being a super in-your-face pink.

Try pink ground?

Yep, we just painted our living room pink ground after seeing that setting plaster was too dark! I really like it, it changes depending on the light during the day and feels very cosy at night.

Craig & Rose Alhambra Stone?

Thanks! I will definitely have a look at pink ground, and I'll take a look at the Craig & Rose one as well

It's so weird how colours look different in certain rooms/light and how we perceive them! We painted our east-facing, admittedly fairly large (it used to be a bedroom) bathroom in F&B Setting Plaster and I think it's way too pale and washed out, lol 😂 I'll be looking to change it to something with a bit more depth when I can justify the cost of redoing it!

I had originally planned using Setting Plaster for our kitchen cabinets (large, south-facing room), but having tried painting a big sample area I thought it would be ineffective, so changed track completely and went for Oval Room Blue 🙄

Pink Ground sounds like it will be a good shout in your case if you want something paler, OP.

Rose Tinted White by Edward Bulmer, I've just had a tester to do my kitchen as I love setting plaster but it's too bold, this is much more subtle but with the same plaster colour.

Hello - did you go with this rose tinted white paint colour in the end? Are you able to share any pics? Thanks!
