If a paint was called "Crispy Crumble" what colour would you think it would be?

Good tip JaneA

We painted a room with Southern Stone which was supposed to be a very light beige with a warm hint of pink.
It was an unpleasant greyish colour.

It had to go.

I was thinking, sort of plain digestive biscuit.
Now, I quite like the colour of the green square that comes up every time I choose a different GN post subject. IYSWIM

As in grannyactivist's picture but with some pinky burnt bits around the edges of the room!

It is actually fairly neutral but I have grey fronted fitted wardrobes so maybe it affects the colour
That's right PECS, colours are very much affected by what is next to them.
They are also affected by how much light is falling on them and in what direction. A woman in specialist paint shop once advised me to paint the inside of a shoebox with the chosen colour, to check what it would look like with more or less light falling on it.

shysal I bought and used testers for:

Hay Bale

Elderflower tea ( or something like that)

Crispy Crumble

Rope Swing

Plus at least 3 others that I can't remember the names of although "Trenchcoat" rings a bell.

I splodged carefully applied the testers to various parts of the room to take into account corners, the amount of light at different times of day etc.

We decided on Crispy Crumble, bought it, had it applied and now it is nothing like the colour I was expecting!

Daft thing is, the last time this room was done, I was looking for a sort of grey/green, but couldn't find the right colour, ended up using a soft pale green (Celtic Forest 4, had to get it mixed)

Now that I want a sort of taupe (beige) and have bought curtains to go with that colour, I seem to have ended up with the damn grey/green that I searched high and low for about 8 years ago!

I emulsioned my bedroom years ago in a colour called 'Peach' to match in with the cream accessories.
Thinking all the while "hmmmm, maybe it'll dry different, maybe it'll tone down from bright orange".

Elephants Breath is a classic! I have that with Skimming Stone. And Mouse's Back.

I was always intrigued by F & B's "Charlotte's Locks". Poor Charlotte!

Grannya has the colour spot on!

Chewbacca my bedroom is painted in Caluna (heather) It is not purple! It is grey with a hint of purple It is actually fairly neutral but I have grey fronted fitted wardrobes so maybe it affects the colour. My favourite is colour name is Elephant Breath!

I bought a tin of Farrow and Ball's Caluna, ready to paint the bedroom. Oh my! I only got as far as painting 1 wall, with 1 coat and I knew it had to go. Purple by a different name.

Crispy crumble!

Don’t trust “grey” my upstairs rooms and bathrooms are all allegedly “shades of grey” 1 is blueish, 1 is more like lilac and the other definitely has a touch of green. Thankfully the grandchildren chose 2 shades of blue for their room here, yes they are blue but nothing like the testers!!!

That crispy crumble looks distinctly unpalatable. Is it covered in mould?

This is the actual colour for crispy crumble. I can't think of anything crispy or crumbled in this shade! No hint of green that I can see. Has the whole room been done Phoenix or just a patch ?
I once did a room in something like calico which turned out to be pink so re-did it in magnolia, at least you know where you are with it, although grey is the 'in' colour.

My daughter ended up with 'something' green in her front room, because it was the right shade of grey!

Yes I think Marydoll has that right

Well, in my sitting room, it looks a sort of grey/green

I tried various testers and chose this as it looked a sort of taupe (ok, beige) wish I had gone for Rope Swing instead!

Same colour as cornflakes

Most definitely great minds Marydoll ?

As Marydoll said

Oatmealish

Unless it's rhubarb crumble then oatmealish an with hint of pink.

Apple crumble oatmealish with hint of pale yellow.

Burnt crumble - brown

Nope I give up, ?

Great minds, Annie!

I think as Marydoll posted

This shade

A sort of dark caramel?
