F+B yes I guess if you've got new surfaces and want them to look baller.
C+R do similar period looking finishs (flat/no sheen/good texture) for a bit less money
Or stick with the main brands, always been happy with Leyland for simple colours.
B+Q own brand stuff, VERY mixed results. I wouldn't use it anymore on anything that you would potentially see (cupboard usage etc) as have had several large rooms turn into a right mess when tins of paint from B+Q from same batch code don't anywhere near match in colour, texture or finish, was really weird. Ended up flattening down, white out and then used the big D instead.If you have oldschool plaster/lime/horsehair etc, consider using 'clay' paints, theres an online company that does them, really similar finish to the F+B and C+R period finishs, but less money, and apparently breath better

Is farrow and ball paint worth it, can't B&Q just colour match it? Just had our living room reskimmed so now to look at 18 types of grey paint!
