You don’t need to be a qualified chemist to understand shades of white, or any other colour for that matter. You just need to be married to a wife who possesses the colour charts for both Farrow and Ball and Little Green. We’re currently redecorating and have colour swatches painted on all walls. I can’t see the white for the off-white. Big Cry Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Farrow and ball is overpriced guff in my view, i did two rooms with it (large Georgian farm house) and it’s not a great finish IMO, two coats onto a good primer and base and it marks very easily. I’m intrigued to try little green but on the recommendation of a friend who is a professional he just goes to the Dulux trade centre as anyone can go in and had them mix up the decent stuff in an f&b colour

No, I’m normally just enjoying getting to the end of the journey without breaking down. Whistle Monsieur Le Grenadier

Agreed. Mrs Grenadier likes the colours, not so much the silly names, but as we’re in France we get it mixed locally. Similarly with Little Green. It’s the shades that matter, not the paint. Thumbs Up Monsieur Le Grenadier

Also if you want to save on samples the Dulux Visualizer App is amazing, you can even colour sample from other catalogues with it.
