Colour for hall way ?

mardatha

I like pale silvery grey. Not as stark as white but very light on dull days.

I've got pale yellow in my hallway and love it. But with what you've alreasy got there, I think I'd go for soft sage green.

Oddly enough I've been asking myself the same question as the OP, and that FB Dimity is lovely. How is it for ease of application and wear?

I've gone for F&B's estate emulsion, which is quite chalky (they also do a modern emulsion, slightly higher sheen), and very thick - it's gone on fine with a roller and I got a good finish with two coats.

In terms of wear, we're only a month in with it so can't reliably comment! But there is always the colour-match option if you wanted a harder wearing trade paint.

F&B colour cards use painted card rather than printed samples if you want to see what everything looks like away from a computer screen!

I :heart2: Farrow & Ball's colours - its the £££ I don't like!

I'm gonna paint my hallway in the new place a lovely green colour. Light sage is the one I have in mind, just need to find the right one which has to be really durable with a DH, 3 kids & the place is a small holding!

Upload a pic when you've done it so I can see what it looks like!

I've now been looking at a pale blue colour....hmmm not sure cos the colour will run though to the kitchen. I prefer to have a natural looking colour as I will have wood & slate in there & were surrounded my greenery & slate so its all natural.

Thanks. Is that two coats from bare plaster, or over existing paint?

Two coats over two misting coats (just had lounge and hallway skimmed). The plaster wasn't a uniform colour either so I was quite surprised that two coats were sufficient!
