    I had skirting, architrave etc painted by a contractor a few years ago. I need to touch up some spots and paint s new rad cover but I can't remember the name of the colour he used. He has since passed away so I can't get it that way.

    He told me the name of it at the time but I didn't write it down.

    It's pretty common I think.

    It's an off white colour

    Magnolia is very common, or just look up the paint charts of all the main paint brands to see if a name or similar colour clicks with ye.

    You could try a medium.

    Off white is pretty common indeed. So common that every paint manufacturer in the world has quite a few shades in it within their range.

    Your best bet is to get an off white and paint the affected skirting/architraves in total rather than touch up (which, due to age discolouration, won't match, even if you did get the right paint). Quick rub down with an emery sponge, paint, done. Its not a big project.

    Navajo White was a pretty standard contractor paint colour a few years ago, used for it's versatility.

    Country cream would be another, (I think its 08c31)
    But some places offer a service where if you bring in a piece of the paint (little bit of trim or skirting) they'll scan it and try to match it,
    The catch is it'll be no good for a spot touch up, the paint will have discoloured/ changed a bit over time, and wouldn't be an exact match. but if youre giving a quick coat to a section it'll do..
