F&B colours

[noexcusesforlatenessalan]

Looking for colour opinions! Has anyone decorated their lounge in an F&B colour they really love and would recommend?

DH and I both like blue/green and pale pink/purple colours but mind blowing amount of choice!

Suggestions/ recommendations welcome :)

I’ve got French Grey (more of a mid green) in north ish facing lounge and mizzle (slightly lighter green) in south facing dining room. They look great against white ceilings and wood work. They do change colour too depending on the weather but always look good….. Very calming 😊

Peignoir in our living room.

(Imo) peignoir is a pinky/ mauvey grey 😁

My house is a mix of

Kitchen / Bed F&B - Ammonite / Ceiling & Woodwork - F&B - Slipper Satin
Living Room / Hall, Stairs and Landing - F&B - Shadow White / Ceiling & Woodwork - F&B - Slipper Satin
Bathrooms F&B Borrowed Light) / Ceiling and Woodwork - F&B Slipper Satin

The tips I would suggest are:

• always use F&B and not another brand mixed to a F&B colour. The genuine paint contains pigmentation which means it looks different in different lights. The difference in the colour in my Living Room morning and evening is amazing.
• Buy a tester, try it on every wall you are going to paint and also paint a white piece of card with two coats of the colour. Then move that around the room into window edges, alcoves etc. That way you will have a reasonable estimate of what the room will look like painted up.
• Look at the F& B website to get images of whole rooms painted up in the colours you are interested in.

A very underrated F&B colour which I've used I. Our downstairs toilet, is Bone. It's a beautiful taupe-y / muted sage.
Also, Peignoir is in my mum's kitchen and it looks absolutely fabulous. It's like very dusky light pink mixed with grey (goes on slightly more muted than what it looks like on the picture).

This sounds beautiful! My front room is setting plaster with a huge pale blue and mushroom coloured rug and lots of plants. It is the most beautiful colour in every light. I picked it because I love the colour of bare plaster 🤣 I have it in my downstairs toilet too with blue and white tiles. I’m tempted to have it again when I do my bathroom!

We have a F&B cromarty dupe in our north facing front room. I love it its a neutral green colour really pleased with it.

Have another F&B dupe in our north facing hallway its either blue green or green blue a brighter shade and more like a mint green. I also like that but its still subtle but less so than cromarty.

@Iceache I love the idea of pale blue and green plants with it.

I didn’t like pegnoir in my north facing bathroom. It felt old fashioned in the way something my parents would have. I had it changed to another colour (LG’s Portland stone mid).

I love sulking room pink in another north facing room.

We have a north south dual aspect sitting room and have Parma Grey - its quite blue (as blue tones multiply each other so the more there is the bluer it looks). Its very calm and elegant with white woodwork and stained floorboards.

However the F&B paint I love the most is Dix blue which we have all the way up the hall landing and stairs and it is constantly changing colour with the shifting light through the day - it is utterly beautiful.
