Hi Ren,

Michelle would be able to give you a more informed/experienced answer but what do you think of these. :th:

All are Dulux colours.

Thanks ladies I just saw the same bedroom picture that used the Benjamin Moore Hampshire taupe in the mood board thread, you have suggested Dulux Heifer to Mimi.

Will have a look at the Colours today,thanks for your suggestions.

Hello, I can only strongly recommend buying a piece of plasterboard, painting it your wall colour and then buying some sample pots and painting it on.
Paint looks totally different when it is on the wall so trust me do yourself a favor and save yourself some disappointment..

Good luck btw its a beautiful colour!

How did you go with the Silkworm? I was thinking of getting a pot of that too... :th:

If you have painted something with it, would you pretty please post a picture of it?

Sorry I didn't end up getting it, I decided against it as it was the wrong tone when I compared it to my new bedspread.
Good luck with finding the right one, I am going to stick with antique white in our bedroom, boring, but I got a new bedspread that has a lot going on, and I have given up on the beige Colours ::wornout::

Hi Ren,
I thought I would post a pic (as promised) here of Dulux Heifer rather than on the "moodboard" thread. I decided to paint a piece of board instead of the wall just in case I didn't like it. :shock:

These were taken at night and have come out a bit yellow but are pretty close.
I'll take more pics in daylight or I might even try half strength. :th:

Would love to see it Ren! I'm not 100% sure if i will use it. I'm worried it may be a little dark. I tried half strength today but it's a little grey and washed out, like it looses its warmth.
Looking forward to seeing your half barefoot beach! :)

Mimi here is the 1/2 barefoot beach with only 1 coat. I love it has a slightly grey tone in some lights and a warmer beige in other lights.
