What paint colour ?

11 years ago

I need help choosing a paint colour for a hallway in a new build. I love the wall colour in the picture attached but dont know what colour it is. Our stairs will be very similar to the one in photo also, we have purchased these tiles - could someone suggest a nice grey from either dulux or colourtrend paints please

Lisa, that looks like some shade of grey -- if you could locate that photo on Houzz, sometimes there is a button "Ask a Question" and you can ask the designer about that color ?

Color is always difficult to view correctly on a computer screen. It will almost never be accurate. But, this appears to be a khaki greenish tan color to me, which is a more of a cool color.

Refurbishing an old piece is sometimes more fun than restoring it to its original condition. I am thinking a hard wearing fabric in a darker color with some pattern int it would be good to keep the piece looking cleaner longer, because children will be using it.

Paint colours for new house....help needed!

Hi all, Need to decide on colours for our new house quickly (4 bed semi in a new development) and as I am a complete novice looking for some sound advice please. I was hoping to get into some paint shops and get some advice and samples but avoiding as much as possible due to Covid 19. So apologies in advance for all the questions! Painting will be done by the builder and the only instructions are that we "can pick up to 4 neutral colours from the Dulux range which will be mixed in standard matt". He has suggested that Shale White, Savon Grey, Warm Stove or Tempting Taupe are popular colours so far. House has an east/west orientation with the front of the house facing (sitting room) east and the back of the house (kitchen) facing west. I have done some initial research on best colours for west facing kitchen and it seems to suggest that white is a good option maybe with pink undertones? We are going for a Kashmir kitchen with a grey island and white counter tops as shown in the picture below. We are going for laminate flooring in the hall, sitting and kitchen and I like the one on the left below. What paint colour would work best in the kitchen with our flooring and kitchen colours? For the sitting room as it is east facing with the laminate floor above has anybody got some good tips on what might work well? Neutral with shades of green or blue? For the downstairs bathroom I have read that white is a good option for darker (no window) bathrooms. We will be getting the tile below in the corner on the floor and the wall tile behind the toilet and sink covering half of the wall. The two bathrooms upstairs will be tiled. For the hall downstairs and the landing upstairs presume you would go with one colour throughout? Again is a white colour a good option or would grey work equally well? Finally for the bedrooms would you recommend to go all the same neutral colour initially (as we are limited to 4 paint choices throughout the house) and then we can paint individual rooms afterwards when the 3 kids start demanding their own colours. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shane

Lisa, try 'Warm Pewter' at Dulux, http://www.dulux.co.uk/colours/neutral/ looks a similar colour! I agree on the great colour scheme here.

I can help find this for you in the morning if you haven't already. If you have photoshop, you can grab the RGB value of the color and then plug it into easyrgb.com for the closest colors to that value. I use it all the time for my work. As someone else mentioned though, this can only be used as a guideline. With light casting and shadows, it would be hard to find the exact match

That would be great but but looking at easyrgb.com they don't have dulux or colourtrend interior paints to choose from. Thanks anyway. Someone else thinks its similar to Farrow & Ball lamp grey http://eu.farrow-ball.com/lamp-room-gray/colours//fcp-product/100088 so I'm going to try to get a tester today. Thanks for all the help and I'll let you know how I get on

My apologies. I missed that you were looking for Dulux. They also have the RGB values on their website. They are just a little harder to sift through. I would say that "Stone" would be the closest... I would grab a tester of that as well. :o)

Also remember the color looks great in that room but might look great in yours by multiple samples of different grays and choose the one you like.

I don't think it's lamp room grey. That's the colour of my bathroom. It has more green in it.

Finally got a colour - went to the paint shop today, lamp room grey looked more grey and the store assistant thought it looked more like F&B pigeon. So we matched it to colourtrend Silverado ranch 0421 which I am finally happy with. Thank you all for your advice and assistance. When the room is painted and tiled i will post some photo's :)
