Total Rubbish

Bought test pot and was happy with the colour, bought a tub of paint and although quality of paint not bad unfortunately the paint was a completely different colour to the test pot and the brochure, more of a pale blue and definately not grey. Could not use and store would not exchange as opened. Will have to buy more paint at extra cost but won't buy GoodHome paint again.
Perfect grey

After looking everywhere for a grey with no blue or purple tint I read the reviews on this colour. The reviews were correct it is a true grey and just the colour I wanted. Its a nice light grey and took two coats and when opening the paint is very deceiving as it looks white.
This is BLUE

I bought this paint to give the kitchen a nice, light-grey look. Instead, it's pale blue. Like baby blue. In every light. We tried multiple coats and it just got worse. DO NOT BUY if you want any shade of grey. Had to repaint the whole kitchen. Very disappointed
Good value good paint

Exceeded my expectations, it’s a lovely light grey colour, paint goes on really well so good value for money, was concerned with some of the reviews but have had no trouble with this and will be using it again in different rooms. Also covered up many samples I had on the wall, two coats needed.
