Mixing up paint in F &B shades? How very dare you! Don't you know that they have a monopoly on certain shades and their description. ..onwards and upwards love Humdinger xx5

Haha - seemingly their approach to the orange DIY people was every inch along those lines!
I will mention though - if anyone else has an eye on the F&B shade "Calke Green" - Valpsar (US)'s "Northern Glen" is exceptionally close to it!
MrEH is out at rugby on saturday afternoon so I think I'm planning to get the white paint 1st coat onto the windowsill at that stage - there is a section each side of the bay that also needs painting (although it's wall rather than wood) - I'll see if we still have any PBW emulsion in the shed and if so I'll use that as I'm not convinced the satinwood will look right there. Otherwise I bet Mum's got a can of it kicking about.
