Wall colours

[ffiscool]

It’s nice to have a different thing taking up my thoughts, Who knew there were so many cream paints. I’ve had that many testers, I could have done a wall.  The walls here were cream when I moved in. It’s a warm cream but not yellow.  I’ve tried mainly dulux, but they are either to light or too pink or yellow.

I need to roughly stick to what’s here purely that I’ve other things now based around this colour. 

not repainting the whole flat, just stairs/hall and my bedroom

just wondered if anyone had suggestions, colours used

i have jasmine white in my kitchen and bathroom but that’s too pale for the rest. 







the one that looks two diff colours is just how the light is at the top of stairs and then the shadows on the stairs. 

bit by the door looks yellow, but it’s not.  I’ll go back to b&q tmrw. Decorator coming Tuesday.  I thought it would be so easy

The splodge is a colour def not using - think it’s calico or something

managed to scrape some off the wall, where there had been like a coat knob.. so in theory I can get it matched, in b&q.. why did I not think of that before driving myself mad and going back so many times.. they prob think I am casing the place, lol

How colors look on a wall is so strange. A friend and I painted her guest bedroom a medium blue color. Along one wall was a loft. After we got done the area above the loft looked dark blue - an entirely different blue than the rest. You'd have sworn we used two different buckets of paint but it all came from the same bucket. Good luck - hope you get the exact color you need!

Even the colour charts are not how it is at times

Totally agree about the colour charts. Sorry can't help with colours, we haven't painted for ages but are wall papering and hubby replacing skirting and window boards with oak so we don't have to paint, except for the radiator which I painted deep pink!!!! Good luck on him repainting this.
