Best sage/olive/soft green for bedroom?

F&B not in my budget sadly!

Which cheaper brand and shade have you used for your bedroom?

It's large with lots of light, looking to pick out a feature wall plus one or two other bits...loft bedroom do lots of unusual shapes and nooks and crannies! Rest of the room is white and light coloured floor.

Have been looking but it's so hard! Nothing too bright or too dark 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like Overtly Olive from Dulux we have it on one of our bedrooms and both bathrooms

Diggersandunicorns · 30/08/2023 10:32

We got F&B Cromarty colour matched, can’t remember to what, I think a trade paint. Was between that and Mizzle which might be better for you as it’s darker so would work better for contrast

GetToTheChopperrr · 30/08/2023 10:33

F&B Cromarty. Get it colour matched at Johnston's.

GetToTheChopperrr · 30/08/2023 10:34

Or Dulux Willow Tree.

Reallybadidea · 30/08/2023 10:36

I had F&B Mizzle colour-matched to Johnstone's Trade which puts it in the same price bracket as Dulux. It's very lovely. Are you sure you don't want to paint the whole bedroom. I think for a non-standard shaped room, painting different walls in different colours is hard to pull off well.

Another vote for F&B Mizzle. Get it colour matched!

CheersToMe · 30/08/2023 10:52

We have Cromarty (and possibly Mizzle, might be something else on another wall).
Look out for F&B on 3 for 2 offer.

Or colour match Johnson's trade from a Brewers Decorator Centre for the closest match.

Exactly what I did. It's a beautiful colour.

Colinswheels · 30/08/2023 11:07

I have F&B Mizzle in my spare room and its a beautiful soft sage green, you can spread the cost of F&B on Klarna now.

Dulux Putting Green

Papillon23 · 30/08/2023 11:10

I have Dulux Trade Soft Fauna 4.

Crochetablanket · 30/08/2023 11:25

You can get F&B colour matched at B&Q now too - called Valspar I think.
Plus most decorators don’t rate the F&B pain anyway as coverage ( I have read) is poor. I have always colour matched F&B rather than pay their prices.

Crochetablanket · 30/08/2023 11:28

I have use Theresa’s Green and Breakfast Room Green ( colour matched) most recently for bedroom.

OnAir · 30/08/2023 11:30

Or Dulux Willow Tree.

I have this in my bedroom. I really like it. Originally I was looking at darker greens like olive greens and I'm so glad I went for a lighter shade in the end.

Borgonzola · 30/08/2023 13:22

Little Greene Pleat, colour matched

BlackJumpsuit · 30/08/2023 14:09

Thank you so much for all of these!!

Need to have a read through, look at the links etc. This so helpful 😊

Coat paints Park Life - I have this in my living room and literally everyone on first view has complimented it and asked what it is.

JaninaDuszejko · 30/08/2023 14:21

I much prefer Little Greene to F&B, the coverage is much better. And the colour cards are more accurate as well.

But yet another vote for Johnstone colour match paint. Or have a look at E-paint to compare colours from different ranges.

We picked duck egg blue from dunelm.
also bought a lovely sage green from
b&q. No need to buy big brands for great results

HelloCanYouHearMe · 30/08/2023 16:39

I have F&B Verte de terre and lichen in my bedroom, colourmatched at the B&Q paint desk

Bluevelvetsofa · 30/08/2023 16:46

Dulux Wild Wonder, which is colour of the year. Love it!

BlackJumpsuit · 30/08/2023 22:12

So many greens, thank you!! 🤯

Currently favouring F&B Verte de Terre, Little Green Tracery II, Duluxe Overtly Olive.

You might be right, it's hard to visualise
