We live in a traditional 1930s semi, and our living room stretches from front to back, with big bay windows at either end. The room runs North - South, which means that one end tends to be very sunny and light, while the other a bit gloomy on a dark day.
I love f&b shades, and I'm using it's paintchart for inspiration (although may get the shade matched depending on cost).
I'm looking a warm, light neutral for the walls and I never realised that something could be so difficult! (Cue joke about 50 shades of, um, cream).
These are the shades in the not so short shortlist so far:
Joa's white
Archive
Oxford Stone (too dark?)
Matchstick (too yellow?)
String (too yellow / too dark?)
Elephant's breath (too grey?)
I have tester pots and will be attacking some lining paper with said paint this weekend. But what would be really useful is to hear from anyone who has used these colours - what did you think? Was the colour what you expected? And are there any suitable colour contenders that I may have missed?
TIA!
