Help needed finding a colour to match

Chickus

Hi all,
I need to repaint my sitting room but want to keep existing colour scheme-all furniture, upholstery matches.
The main wall is a slate grey colour and I have found the exact match. BUT I can't find the match of the main wall colour. I thought it was from the same range as the slate grey but its not..It looks like a light grey with tinge of purple/mauve through it, almost like a dove grey..Its a lovely colour but I can't find a good match..I want a warm colour..I have tried silvermist type colours but they are too cold and bright.
I have a picture of it, but its not in natural light..The colour actually blends in well with the plaster on the ceiling.
If anyone can help it would be great.
Thanks a mil

Check out dulux "flaked almond" as it looks pretty close to that pic.

dulux or crown mix paint to match what you want. cant remember which one I'm sure you local hardware will tell you. they have a square card with different colours all around the edge and the middle is blank and you take a photo of it with the item that you want colour matched bring it to the hardware and they will match the colour. maybe check Dulux or crown websites, they will probably give you a better idea.

Well game4it70 is quite right. Flaked almond is a lovely shade and its pretty close as well.

What brand & colour is the grey?
That will help identify the other.

I found the match. I went into mrcb paints with some flakes of paint and they were able to match it up..I think its a mix of a few dulux paints.

The other colour was a homebase brand and i thought this colour was same brand but it wasn't.
