Finished painting my room F&B Blue Gray --pics
Comments (12)I was interested in this color, too. Your photos really bring out the blue (on my screen) but the chip looks far more green. I'm looking for the blue-grey tone, so I wonder if this is actually too much green for me. So hard to tell!...See MoreF& B color check - real vs chart
Comments (20)Amy: With the exception of Cooking Apple Green and Farrow's Cream, yes the fandex chip does match when held up to the walls, even though they seem very different separately. With the aforementioned colors, it's off. Maybe it's just my light. Jane, you shouldn't have to buy a quart of this stuff. They sell little sample cans that I found went very far and allowed me to do big swatches. Now with them, the only color that surprised me was Farrow's Cream, but that is in two large rooms and I think that that's why. No way a big swatch could have shown me what this color would really do. It's lovely though. F&B colors are tricky, no doubt, but beautiful. I'm just not sure they're going to work for matching something. But if you're willing to go a shade lighter or darker so that you have something that is complimentary and looks beautiful together, then yes, it would be great. Citron is pretty yellow. Are you trying to go more yellow or less? Farrow's Cream is much more creamy than yellow, it also has the bizarre *hint* of olive in it, that only I and my Dad can see. It drove me nuts at first, but now that all my stuff is in the room, I've grown to really love it. Ask for the sample pots! I think they're $5 each, which is about what a C2 giant chip costs and that's about the size of swatch I got out of them. Ivette P.S. Definitely multiple coats change the color. But I found that to be true with all the paints I used, except for FPE. F&B in particular seems to benefit and grow more luminous with more coats. I deliberately did three coats in three rooms because of that, and I'm glad I did....See MorePigeon People
Comments (64)I had a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S time.....and MORE!! Just a short note to say hi and a few pics I've mananged to load over the weekend. It was great to see some old friends again and meet some new ones. I'll will add that the wine per person was a little more than three bottles..two didn't drink at all and I don't do wine all that much...LOL! Now for the pics..... RR has been holding out on us....seems she has a business up in the mountains....right next door to the Lazy Daze Laundry and LP Gas place..... Nancy making that vodka pie crust for the great Apple Pies she made for us.....YUM! Birthday girl....complete with a crown...not the drink..lol! Harvest/Birthday dinner....I cut Nancy out of the photo..sorry about that pal. Karen, May, and Cathy in front of the Biltmore and one of the many wine cellars we saw. Couldn't take pics inside the mansion. Dinner out for our last night there....Rueben was a great and VERY entertaining waiter. I think the rest of the group would agree that we had outstanding service no matter where we went out to eat. May and Karen with a cowboy (not naked).... this is the only postable photo...things got crazy after this pic....I'll leave it at that...LOL! I had a great time and will never forget it...if you get the chance to meet up with a member or group from the forum do it......still packing here! Oh, almost forgot to mention that I found a very cool painting by a local artist for my new place....yes all y'all I called and bought it today!!

Comments (9)Thanks! That's what I thought! Yeah it's a very tough decision and you only get one chance to do it right..... I started with so many peel-and-stick paint samples from SW and F&B and narrowed down to 7 F&Bs and ordered the real paint samples from F&B. And narrowed down from 7 to 5 and then 5 to 3, Pigeon, Blue Gray and Mizzle (in the same boat haha). Still long way to go..... but hopefully i can make the right decision.......See MorePaula Blay
