Paint colour?

I'm off work next week and fancy doing some painting.
I have seen the picture below on RightMove and would like to have the same colour scheme.

Do you know roughly what name/colour of the paint is?

Thanks

    The name is brown.

    Seriously, names for colours do change, colours are retired and dofferent manufacturers use different names for some similar colours.

    Best to go into a paint merchant and get some colour charts - if you have a manufacturer and a colour number, you can get that colour mixed quite consistently. In Johnstone. you will find the colour wheel at http://www.johnstonestrade.com/natural-colour-system.aspx - the one you want is close to S3010Y70R

    Dulux used to have a similar colour wheel, but I can't find it now.
    You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'

    We have something similar in our kitchen - ours is Kashmir Beige by Craig & Rose. However, colours can be interpreted differently from one monitor to another and will also look different depending on the size of room and how it is lit. Our room is 36' long with a very high ceiling and two-storey window - plus we always choose bolder colours anyway - but I wouldn't necessarily pick that colour in a smaller, darker space :o In your position I would definitely get some colour charts/colour wheel to see what works best in your own space ;) GL with the DIY!

    This is very weird. I have come on here to make a post re trying to brighten up my bedroom which only gets the sun in the evening. Then I saw your post and the colour you are enquiring about looks so like the one I am trying to cover up! A lovely colour, btw, just not in my bedroom. Anyway, it may well be Dulux Dusted Damson. My walls are ths colour and the paintwork is a sort of cafe au lait colour. I pinched the idea from a Dulux brochure but now I have changed my mind.

    Hope this helps.
