We want to paint our master bedroom in a mid grey colour - thinking Grey pebble, but also with a darker grey feature wall - so far all the darker greys I am getting sample pots of tend to throw a purple tone - I'd rather them go more of a charcoal/black....

Pics always help Well, I am the Queen of grey sample pots. I have been through at least 15 (yes, 15) while trying to find the perfect grey for my walls. I have finally settled on one - Taubmans Grey Comfort 1/2 strength. Bear in mind I am painting directly over Bristol Moon River, which does throw a greenish tint. If I had wanted to undercoat the walls first I would have used Resene Quarter Foggy Grey. Taubmans Inverness is a nice dark grey, as is Dulux Western Myall 3/4 strength.

Michelle - Sort of a mid range grey for most of the walls but then a darker (can be quite a bit darker) grey for some accents - around the wardrobe etc...

That is exactly the grey I want - I tried Aumbry which looked fantastic and grey on Debra's walls - sure enough on my walls it looked brown! Judie I think we have the same problem I have SO many sample pots it is costing me a small fortune and they all end up too purply or too brown!

You are having a dilemma with your grey paint Aumbrey doesn't throw any brown on my feature wall Are you purchasing the sample pots from Dulux Centre or B@nn....gs; as I've had trouble with their mixes At least we know who to contact for any samples Make sure you let us know the final decision.

We bought a sample pot and painted an a3 sized sample, and use that to shop for blinds and carpets, but decided to wait till everythings painted and take our time to decide on colours. Re: Grey Paint 16Aug 16, 2011 9:01 am Thanks Gelatiii - looks great Funny you should put it up because we actually purchased a 4litre tin of Grey Pebble yesterday and DH finished the study last night - I'm really happy with how it turned out and we are now using it in the master bedroom. I just want to find a darker grey now to go with it so I can do behind the bed and around the wardrobes....I'm thinking Grey Pebble double strength....

Good luck with the feature wall colour. Re: Grey Paint 18Aug 18, 2011 6:55 am Hi Gelatii, Grey pebble is the colour I have chosen for my walls. It looks great on your wall. May I ask what colour kitchen cabinetry you are having to go with it? I don't know whether to go gloss or matt. Thanks, Re: Grey Paint 19Aug 18, 2011 7:12 pm Abby Hi Gelatii, Grey pebble is the colour I have chosen for my walls. It looks great on your wall. May I ask what colour kitchen cabinetry you are having to go with it? I don't know whether to go gloss or matt. Thanks, Hi Abby I went with Shannon Oak and Ultra White, it's glossy, Polytec Createc. Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7140 Thank you.
