To celebrate the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton we’re offering one lucky couple the chance to transform their home courtesy of Crown Paints. Perhaps you are looking forward to collaboratively decorating your home with your partner and could do with some colour advice. Whatever the scenario, we’re on hand to give Britain’s couples an opportunity to freshen up their home. It’s well documented that women are the ones who choose the colour scheme and styling in the home, while men are roped into the actual DIY, and more often than not, both parties will end up disagreeing on what the end result should be – leading to fights and friction. We want to combat the issues that can arise from trying to bring two very different personal styles together, by providing couples with a well-balanced living space from day one – which is why our lucky winners will receive a personal Crown Colour Consultation, where we’ll help them combine their favourite colours and pick a perfect palette that’s personal to them – we’ll even throw in the paint.
Taking part is simple; just follow the instructions detailed below.
1. First, you need to find the answer to the simple question: 'what is the name of the Crown Paints colour featured on the wall above the fireplace in this image?’

The answer can be found by following this link to the Crown Paints website. http://www.crownpaint.co.uk/paint-and-colour/reds-and-pinks.htm?rt=1 Reds and Pinks to choose from (I think it could be Crimson Fire or Fireside, but it is hard to tell)
2. Once you have found the answer email it along with your full contact details to this email address crownpaintscompetitions@gmail.com
3. One lucky couple will be chosen at random on Thursday 28th April.
Good Luck!

Never put tables and chairs in the same room.
If they congregate together for any length of time, they will inevitably hatch plots against you and your pets.

Actually it's IMPOSSIBLE to tell lmao
i have graphics software that allows you to pick a pixel and see the hex or RGB code for that colour so you can match it. I tried it on the sampes pages and then on that photo...hardly any pixels are the same value due to the light and shadows...nothing matched the samples at all.
It's a guess, I think you have to guess where on the photo the real colour shows best, in the ligher areas or in the shadows...or probably midway? I'm thinking I'v e never seen a can with contents that match the paint well either...so that widens it lol
Could use the paint, it's getting expensive now
