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

Crispy Crumble made me think of Crunchie ice cream. Yum.
I have severely restricted colour vision.
Colour blind. My three adult sons also.
Only person in our house of five who could choose was my husband.
I think he has no taste so it was four colour blind people who loved our twisted vision of the home decor against him.
We won.

Very stylish ga - when I had small children I think the best I could hope for was 'tidy after 7pm'!

That made me laugh Jennifer

Brenda I cannot be alone in seeing that shade as grey????? I have never before had a grey crumble! Could that be the fine dining shade of crumble? Maybe I am cooking it incorrectly?

I am so impressed with the many home decorators on here - I have no taste, no style - and leave most of the decor to my (colour blind - truly!) husband. I chose the 'Heritage Green that adorns one wall of my sitting room, but apart from that I have never involved myself in the house decor, other than to say, 'Yes, that sounds fine' to whatever is suggested.

My daughter, on the other hand, could honestly get a job as an interior designer. She salivates over wallpaper and paint and 'accessorises' her home! Who does that when they have three small children at home? I find myself taking photo's when I'm in her house, to 'inspire' me, but I'm afraid the second I leave so does the will to be 'inspired'. I'll have a hunt and see if I can find a photo to show you what I mean......

Talking of paint, I read recently that Meghan is having the nursery in their new home painted with organic paint.

Well she would wouldn't she?!

A comment in our paper referring to this made me laugh - 'white with a hint of smugness'

Just about sums it up.

I got so confused about what colour to do our kitchen/dining room my husband made the decision and did it white - it looks really good!

My Crispy Crumble would be black ?

Yellow Ochre? Sounds a bit sickly-sweet!
I'm more of a duck egg blue person

Creamy caramel tone

Kind of like puff candy colour I imagine.

Pheonix As my 'crumbles' have on occasions turned out either undercooked 'crispy' or 'overcooked crispy' I would be inclined to contact the manufacturers for a' small sample.'
You can also get samples in many decorating outlets, as what is 'said' on the tin doesn't always apply when in use.
As many have, expensively, found out.

I found this it’s called crispy crumble.

Hi Phoenix
Good wishes back to you
I'd imagine it to be very slightly darker than Rice Krispies.

I get that same green square, AuntieFlo. It's appeared since the site was er improved....

We have painted our hall,stairs and landing in Crispy Crumble.As JaneA says it looks quite different depending on how the light falls on it.

A friend has had success with paint from Wilko, good colours, not expensive and covers well.

White and Magnolia here and that is what it will stay! In our last house w e had Ivory Cream which was lovely and drew a lot of compliments.

I’ve found Kevin Whatisname’s books on colour helpful.

I did the multiple tester pots too and still got the kitchen colour wrong. I chose the palest grey to go with my grey and white units, turned out to be grey/lilac ?

I’m so glad to hear all these confessions of multiple tester pot use.
MrA claims that I am the only person who has to test out 14 different shades before coming to a decision.
The last room we did was our lounge and we couldn’t choose which shade to go for.
Then we happened to go to DD’s & realised the shade she had on her walls would be perfect.
It was Barley White?
No adventurous colour schemes here

F&B do a new colour called Sulking Room Pink. Brilliant name. Just wish I had the appropriate room
We had loads of colour samples for our kitchen. It is large and light. In the end we settled for Littlegreene Thai Sapphire and Deep Space Blue.
You just have to do the sample test in situ. The names are often great but misleading

Crispy crumble was one of the many (not going to admit how many!) tester pots I bought recently when we redecorated the dining room. I was looking for a creamy taupe shade as well but most things I tried were just varying shades of sludge. Dire and nothing like the colour charts or the Dulux ‘visualisation’ App.

I finally changed course completely and went for a pale gold colour but when I saw the finished room (all work done behind closed doors) my jaw dropped and I was horrified because my lovely pale gold was a rather mucky khaki. So bad that I had to pay the decorator to repaint it and wisely chose Crown Parchment - only because I’d seen it in someone’s house. I sent a complaint off to Dulux about the colour disparity including a small paint sample and am waiting to see if I ever get a reply.

Magnolia anyone?

Just to mention that I have Elephants Breath in the kitchen and love it.

Perhaps it ought to have been called Unbaked Crumble?

We paid a decorator to paint our hall stairs and landing. We wanted to put our stamp on it when we moved in so decided to get rid of the very pale shade of cream. We made the mistake of choosing shades from our decorators very limited colour chart. I chose a pale mimosa yellow and a pale sage. What we got was toffee sludge and mucky khaki. I could have cried when I saw it finished. I much preferred the original pale cream.

looks more like crispy tissue than crispy crumble

Rope Swing!
Someone gets paid for thinking up these names
