Hello,


Any interior types that can help? I have just painted my living room in Little Greene's French grey and disappointed in how lilac it looks. Yes, I did use a match pot and was obsessive about which colour to go for. If you Google images this colour, you'll see what I was aiming for.


Anyway, could anyone advise which colour accessories to go for to counteract the blue- lilac tones? Thanks.

The problem is, the same paint will look different in different lights and on different walls.


What you can do is to still use a trial pot, but instead of painting direct on the wall paint some large-ish sheets of paper.


Then you can put them in different places in the room and see how they look at different times of day and in natural and artificial light.


I agree you should re-paint it. You'll never be happy with it if it isn't what you want now, however you try to accessorize it.


ETA: Sadly though, you may not be able to get the absolute exact colour you want. I had a particular shade in mind, couldn't get a match at all and ended up with my default position of white :(

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
