A muted green grey
This very light green grey is named after the Cromarty Firth estuary, a place of swirling mists mentioned daily in the Shipping Forecast. A neutral yet atmospheric colour, Cromarty brings a muted softness to any room, creating an easy to use finish that is neither too green nor too grey. A shade lighter than Mizzle, it works beautifully when grouped with Blue Gray or Pigeon.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones

F&B Paints never disappoint.
Decided to completely redecorate four bedrooms in Lockdown. First port of call was to F&B web site and online order that arrived on a pallet at the same price as the local store and free delivery - what's not to like. Been Using F&B paint for over thirty years and wouldn't buy anything else. Estate emulsions have a chalkiness that is so deep and sophisticated that the walls just sing. Never had Cromarty before but it struck the right tone of cool and interest in a sunny south facing room. Always use a brush and sometimes finish with a second coat with a mini roller to get a really flat finish. Just wish that F&B hadn't dropped the oil based wood paints a few years ago.

Great alternative to a true neutral
We used this colour in our hallway. We had previously settled on lime white before the new colours launched and as soon as I saw this colour I had to have it somewhere in my house. We had tested mizzle previously but it was too dark for our narrow hallway, but Cromarty is a shade lighter and doesn't make the hallway look smaller. I am so please with this colour, it has enough colour to be interesting, but can still be used in areas that you want more of a neutral feel for. It is the sort of colour that would go well in any room in the house!
