    I scored 32. Not sure whether that's good or not!

    The lower the better, I got 16, which isn't too bad, but I thought it was perfect:o:o:o
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    We're a farrow and ball and little greene household. We used little greene French grey ( which comes in four shades) in our bathroom and its wonderful. Because I'm not a fan of white ceilings using a paler shade of the same colour on the ceiling in this room creates a wonderful calming feeling, where the difference is clear in light, less so in a shady corner. In any case, its a good colour.

    The pigment density and richness of these sort of paints ( more so probably farrow and ball, but I have no complaints about little greene) will add IMO 'warmth' to the colour.

    Tried the test (http://www.xrite.com/online-color-test-challenge) scored 30.

    Also the last time I used Egyptian cotton we used another mauve kinda colour on other walls and once we were finished with the way the light hit the walls they all looked the same colour :rotfl:

    Some people do that on purpose. Not everybody wants feature walls!

    We used Urban Obsession ( dulux) for our ensuite and family bathroom, happy with the results.

    B&Q Light Rain - goes on really light, but darkens when it dries. just done bathroom in it.
  • Wahoo, I scored 0! I have a feeling that my excitement may be disproportionate.

    I'm also surrounded by colour swatches at the moment. Looking for perfect 'stormy sea' shades of blue, purple and grey. So very many shades, so very little budget.
