As above - I want to paint some interior walls the colour of new concrete, but I can't find a colour anywhere. If you google "concrete colour", all you get back is a list of colouring solutions to add to your concrete mix!

Farrow & Ball are possibly the most likely candidates but they don't call their range anything obvious.

TIA.

Concrete is concrete grey, which is RAL7023. B&Q should be able to mix that up for you.

No problem. Out of interest, why do you want to paint walls concrete grey? Going for that prison cell look?

Ha, sort of! No, we've been looking for a fairly subdued grey colour and I saw a picture of something concrete which looked to be the right sort of shade.

24 minutes and you have a paint code.

I love PH.
