take a F&b colour chart to your local trade merchants and get them to scan and mix it in Dulux , or if you can find a johnstones supplier , they have f&b colour recipes in their tinting machines

If you expect the colour to look like F&B, don't bother. It's worth the extra because the other brands aren't made in the same way and don't look the same - they're always brighter, cleaner colours, even when they try to match.

In the grand scheme of something that you have to live with every day for the next few years, it's not so expensive.

We have Dulux "Snuggle Up" - sounds like the sort of colour you're looking at.

Have a look at the Dulux colour mixing charts. Maybe something liked 'cracked clay.'

How about Dulux Nutmeg White. It's a neutral colour but with subtle pink tones. I have it throughout my hallway and it's lovely.

99% of my customers are more than happy with a scanned version ,which is an acceptable match or jphntones which is an exact match , especially when they find out that 5lts of f+b is an eye watering £80 ,
if people that are happy to pay through the nose for for f&b then that is their choice, but this is a money saving site , if you want the colours for a 3rd less then there are much cheaper ways of getting the desired colours
