Dulux Grey recommendations

Argo foc yourself

Looking for recommendations for a light grey in the Dulux range. Have tried so many tester pots now, I have spent a fortune.

A lot of them have a blue hue coming through. It is for a kitchen/dining area. Dont want too dark.

Dapple grey is too dark
Merion grey is too dark
Currently considering Grey steel 3 - but still a little dark

rock salt or chiffon white 1.

Any help advice?

I would recommend calling into a good paint store and talking to someone. Dulux have a lot of trade colours and you might get a better match that isn't on the standard colour cards. They may also be able to mix colours from other ranges for you in Dulux paint. If you're in Dublin, I went to Pat McDonnells in Rathfarnham and found them great.

I'd recommended ammonite from Farrow and Ball, you can get it mixed in Fleetwood paint. Have it in our hall and its not blue like most of the grays

Snap, I went for Ammonite in Colourtrend paint and I love it

As an aside, I was in my local colour trend retailer yesterday, and there’s now a sign up to say they will only mix colourtrend colours into colourtrend paint now. It was never there before!

ya, they are kicking up that people are getting their colours mixed in competitors paints , which are a lot cheaper. colourtrend has gone to s*** in the last few years. Now, it takes 3 coats to cover more often than not. Was never worth the extortionate price anyway.

No, it’s the opposite. This place only sells colourtrend, so it’s not like people were getting their colours mixed into cheap paint- but I’ve gotten f&b colours mixed into colourtrend paint, and they don’t do that now

Is ammonite not a shade of biege

What about delux perfectly greige? It’s warmer than the other colors you mentioned.

And I'm not seeing it on the colourtrend website.

Ammonite is a farrow and ball colour

So you walk in with a grey colour on a sample card and they won't mix it for you.

I doubt their policy extends to that

Toupe is nice ..... no blue hue.

Id recommend edgecomb grey by Benjamin Moore as I had the same problem..... too much blue... this was perfect

We were recommended perfectly greige by dulux too by our interior designer. Haven't painted yet though so can't say if right or not. But she said she uses it on a lot of projects.

Ammonite is a Farrow & Ball colour but I was able to get them to mix that colour for me using Colourtrend paint. It's often done but if Colourtrend are preventing that now it's a pity. F&B paint is way overpriced

Mid Muslin. It's a colortrend one.
