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! Moved In!!! Next up Landscaping!

I was thinking of getting a pot of that too... 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 2/2010 8 acres purchased 11/2011 plans submitted 3/2012 plans approved 13/4 slab done 16/5 brickwork and roof finished 4/6 lock up 29/6 kitchen and bathrooms in 30/6 currently painting Re: Paint matching Benjamin Moore col help please Michelle 12Jul 07, 2012 2:28 am 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.

I'll take more pics in daylight or I might even try half strength. Re: Paint matching Benjamin Moore col help please Michelle 13Jul 07, 2012 5:53 pm Are you going to use it Mimi I painted one of the bedrooms taubmans barefoot beach 1/2 strength and it has come up really nice will take a photo tomorrow. 2/2010 8 acres purchased 11/2011 plans submitted 3/2012 plans approved 13/4 slab done 16/5 brickwork and roof finished 4/6 lock up 29/6 kitchen and bathrooms in 30/6 currently painting Re: Paint matching Benjamin Moore col help please Michelle 14Jul 07, 2012 7:25 pm 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! Re: Paint matching Benjamin Moore col help please Michelle 15Jul 09, 2012 2:12 pm 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.

Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7171 Thank you. That is really helpful.
