    How about getting one or two of the small tester pots in a dark green and mix that into the white.

    I once painted a whole bathroom wall (it was half tiled) with one tester pot.

    thanks everyone for the replies

    decided to get wilko bathroom spa 2.5L for £13

    coverage and finish isnt bad but needs two coats for a good finish and three for a quality finish

    used about 2l of it after doing two coats as the base colour matching, so worked out not so bad after all

    thanks again for the replies.
