An understated grey
Cornforth White is the mid tone in the group of Easy Neutrals which are totally understated and extremely versatile. Neither too warm nor too cool, Cornforth White sits contentedly between Ammonite and Purbeck Stone to create a hushed and calming retreat. Named in memory of John Cornforth, the revered architectural historian, contrast with Wevet to enhance its grey qualities.

A great go-to calming nuetral
We used to have this in the whole of our house (we only lived in a small London Victorian terrace so not that many rooms!) but as we got bolder we used different F&B colours for the rest of the house, but couldn’t bare to change it in our bedroom. It creates such a calming environment and really made our white plantation shutters and coving “pop” against its tones. It’s a lovely colour that changes depending on the light and always looked beautiful and serene and sophisticated. It’s a great choice if your not sure of what colour you want but want it to look great - it was my “gateway” into all F&B colours and was the first colour we bought - and one we will return to!

Beautiful Calm Classic Pale Grey
Just put this up on the hall/stairs/landing in my converted stable (maintaining original and traditional features, not a modern barn conversion). The results are amazing.
The colour exceeds expectations from both the colour card and the sample pot I bought.
The grey is pale without being insipid, calm and not cold.
The colour really compliments white woodwork and coving. It matches perfectly with Laura Ashley Josette wallpaper and so can be used in a traditional or modern setting.
We did need 2 coats over white but the chalky matt finish gives a simply exquisite result.
I can't rate this colour enough.
I will upload photo's soon.
