Farrow & Ball.....AGAIN

[Rollmops]

Oo sage ones, your wise words are urgently needed.
Have a north facing bedroom that gets very 'green' light all year i.e. garden is elevated (on the side of the hill) and abundant foliage is quite close to the window.
Love F&B and their colours. Yet have come to a conundrum as have developed an idea fixe and can not get French Gray out of my head. Yet afraid it will be too dark and muddy in the given light. Was thinking to combine it with either Clunch or Off White and do the woodwork in Pointing.
Have a fab painting that I'm getting the colours from, in subtle mossy green, olive and over all, Earthy tones.
Need to consider other options but can't get beyond French Gray. One is addicted methinks.....
All advice gratefully received.

I love greys but think it might be a bit much in a north-facing room. Shaded White has a lot of grey in it as does Old White but they are also a bit warmer in my opinion. I'm a bit meh about Clunch and Off White to be honest.

I've got Elephant's Breath in my living room (it's a knock-through and the back half isn't that light) - I think it looks great.

What sort of furniture have you got?

French gray is lovely but perhaps not in a north facing room, I think you could regret it. Can you use this colour elsewhere in the house and go for something a bit warmer in the bedroom?

Yes, most likely not for N facing room, sadly.... Looove Elephants Breath, stunning colour! Will get a sample pot, oh, should just get the whole lot of them as this would be my third order in 10 days. More ideas please as have 2 days to play with my tiny painting pots as DH calls them

I have elephants breath in my dining room, looks lovely. Try a little pot and give it a couple of coats at least to see the 'depth' of colour. This is in a southerly facing room though.

In hallway and up stairs, which are very dark (no windows at all up stairs), we have pavilion gray. It looks lovely against crisp white paintwork.

Good luck

Ps Matchstick is quite a nice colour, but quite greeny too when given several coats....

Thank you for the suggestions, ladies! All thoughts on the subject are very welcome!

One colour that I have used alot is Bone, I love this shade and it seems to change from a grey tone to green depending on the light.

I've just done a new house in varying shades. I loved the French Gray but thought it was too dark in my front room which is North facing. I've done that room in Skimming stone and my bedroom in Cornforth white. They are both greyish but lighter than the French.

The hall is skylight and it's a lovely bluey grey dependiing on tme of day.

Has anyone got any suggestions for this - I'm painting the front of our cottage which is cotswoldy in its stone appearance . At the moment it's windows and door is yellow which is quite distinctive but I fell like a change. I was thinking of going for Farrow and Ball's French Grey for the door but the problem is there's a paint border round the windows and I'm worried that it would be too much . What would it look like if I painted round the windows a contrasting colour such as clinch ?
