Grey Painted Kitchen Units

    Can anyone guide me on colour to paint my kitchen units. I want to paint them grey. I had decided on the Farrow and Ball colour Lamp Room Grey but when I have tried it out, it looked quite bluey, almost like duck egg blue which was not the colour I was going for. Had intended to paint the walls in Colour Trend's salter stone but it too is appearing blue ish. The room is North West facing so not the brightest. I have also tried elephant's breath on the units and it looked very pale and insipid though it's a lovely colour on the bit I have tested on walls. Can anyone suggest a nice grey colour that is definitely away from the cream family but that will complement a natural pallet. A Grey/Beige (greige) type of colour I suppose. Have a whole house to do so any other suggestions for nice colours would be appreciated. Overwhelmed.

    Try dulux delicate dove or for a little darker shade dulux fine dove. The colours were part of the dulux simply range which is finished but you can still get it mixed up in something like dulux diamond matt

    F&B Cornflower White is a grey, which is very similar to Elephant's Breath in tone, but more grey than beige. Our kitchen units are painted this colour and Down Pipe. The colour combination suggestions on their website are very good.
