Is Dulux eggshell Pebble Shore grey?

Posts: 635 Forumite
Has anyone used Dulux quick drying eggshell paint in the Pebble Shore colour ? If so, is it a grey shade or a stone colour? Going by the shade chart it’s grey but I’ve found these charts to be quite inaccurate and I can’t afford to make another mistake buying paint which isn’t what it shows on the tin. They don’t seem to do match pots in eggshell range either, just for emulsions. Thanks in advance 🙂

But the colour will be the same regardless of whether it just comes in emulsion.Roxie said:Has anyone used Dulux quick drying eggshell paint in the Pebble Shore colour ?

It's a brownish grey, more grey than brown but warm. I found it too dark.1

Thanks for responding. I haven’t found this to be the case and have made the mistake assuming this in the past. I prefer to use matt emulsion, eggshell is a different consistency/finish and reflects light in a completely different way. (Maybe I’m just very picky😊)neilmcl said:

You could try the tester for the bathroom paint - that does reflect the light as it is a bit more shiny, much more like eggshell.Roxie said:Thanks for responding.

That appears to only apply to purchases on their website and all the paint I tried to add to basket was not available. So, nice idea but I don't think it will help in this case.bob_a_builder said:
