Pink paint

Has anyone painted a bedroom an adult pinky colour. I want a really neutral pink. Not bright. Like a greige pink sort of vibe. I've only been to b and q so far and nothing jumped out at me. I've not got a farrow and ball budget. But I can colour match.
 
I haven't but I've been looking at this one, it doesn't look too pink at all

I used this and its lovely. Quite a dark pink.
I've also used Wilko Delicate Blossom for a lighter pink.

Valspar at b&q have some lovely colours. They have some adult pinks and purples. I have had Twilight bloom in the past which is a greyish pink. Dont just look at the pink section either as often you can find colours with hints of pink to them. Also if you find anything with the colour you like they will match it, my dad had the tiniest chip of paint from a wall and they matched that.

Also if you happen to like a farrow and ball colour, just take the colour swatch(they accept pictures too) and they will make it in Valspar.

I chose crown paint, tapestry thread. It looks a bit darker and more pink than I expected but I really like it and got lots of complements on it

I love the Farrow and Ball pinks - Sulking Room, Calamine, and Cinder Rose (got them colour matched because not paying that much just for paint obviously)

Try Benjamin Moore’s “Sonnet.” It didn’t make a tremendous impression on me in the store but swatched on my wall it was a perfect greige pink. It looks nothing like the sample online. I do second guess a lot of decisions but this was not one of them 🙂

This is how the color appears in real life:

Some great suggestions there. I did stop at Valspar but my children were being so annoying I couldn't look properly. I think Sonnet pictured above might be quite close to what I'm picturing. I'm going to nip to fandb too and see what they've got as now it's mentioned a colleague used Callamine on her bedroom and I liked it. It's for our new house that we're completing on in a few weeks. We weren't going to do our room until last but I think we're going to decorate it sooner. As we're having a lot of remodelling at the back of the house so I thought. duck it. Why not

I've got a match of Farrow & Ball Pink Ground in my downstairs loo, it's a lovely colour.

I also like Middleton Pink.
