Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Feb 26, 2013 10:27 am Hi I was looking for a warm grey paint for my internal walls. I actually got a Dulux Consultant to help me but she was lack luster, disinterested and pretty much below average in her service. But that complaint aside , I chose subdue 50% which I thought was a good choice - until my hubby and inlaws said it had a lilac tinge.... And now I'm not sure I like the colour - especially as its going through most of the house! So I suppose I just wanted an opinion as to wether I'm "seeing things" and Subdue 50% is really a grey colour! And if it does have a lilac tinge, is there a colour you can suggest that is a grey that doesn't feel like a concrete colour? Thanks and hope you can help x Re: Oh no! Wrong colour grey?

Have you looked at tranquil retreat, there are a few houses on the forum using it and they say it is a "true" grey. Re: Oh no! Wrong colour grey? Please help me Michelle :) 3Feb 26, 2013 11:08 pm How funny Treesea!!!! I have just painted my sisters house in Tranquil Retreat and I love it! I was tempted to use it again but we'd also painted some of my mums house in it so wanted something different! After my hour long visit at Masters I'm even more confused now Thanks for your two cents worth - great minds!!! Re: Oh no! Wrong colour grey?
