What colour is your hallway?

There's too much choice and, after choosing the sample paint for the living room and painting the whole room, I'm now surrounded by pale pink - Dulux Soft Stone
It's growing on me but I don't want a colour with any hint of pink in.
I just want a nice neutral colour for a busy hallway with lots of sticky finger prints

I have matchstick in my living room and I really didn't like it until recently when I took a dark wallpaper off one wall and it suddenly looks quite nice. I wouldn't use again in a room that doesn't get much light.

Tallow is a nice warm light cream neutral. I have seen it described as F&B's version of magnolia.

that's because it has pink in it!

Ah, so it won't go with what you want then!

I have milk white (Crown) on a landing. It looks very white when the lights are on it. I was expecting it to be creamier, but its definitely bright.

Crown aged white is also quite nice. Cream, but I don't think it has any pink in it.

I always harp on about Fired Earth colours as well. White mulberry being my all time favourite. No pink undertones in that I dont think.

Oh dear, have just done the living room in "Endurance" which is Diamond finish
That was the "Soft Stone" which turned out to be more of a soft pink

Illuminating range would be good but I just adore the F&B colours and finish.
No point spending the money on F&B if it's going to be ruined though...

The tester of Soft Stone wasn't pink at all. It was the perfect colour
I was hoping, once I'd finished painting, it would dry less pink but it hasn't
I'm getting used to it and it's nice to have clean walls again

I have F&B dorset cream in my dark hall as it was the only colour that looked right.I do have to occasionally touch up as i have 4 dcs.Its a really warm colour-looks like ochre on.

Duluxe natural calico - a nice proper cream. Out of all the rooms i've painted recently it's the one I think is spot on.

es, I've had Natural Calico in a previous house - very nice.
