Now there is no use in asking Gaz any opinions as he's useless and doesnt care what things look like!

Im getting this wallpaper for our bedroom to be featured on the wall opposite the window...

http://www.grahambrown.com/uk/product/30-382/Vintage+Flock

Now after a crafty letter I managed to grab myself some free paint off Dulux but only in their "endurance" range - which doesnt feature many colours... these are the colours which i like.

http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=10337537&fh_view_size=10&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB%2fcategories%3C{9372013}%2fcategories%3C{9372030}%2fcategories%3C{9372120}%2f_colourShadeMIF%3E{all}%2ffeaturesBrand%3dDulux&fh_eds=%C3%9F&isSearch=false
I have got a match pot of this and its a lighter shade of purple than the paper - more a dark lilac really...

http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=10337520&fh_view_size=10&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=dulux+endurance&fh_eds=%C3%9F&isSearch=true

Now the bedroom is roughly 14ft x 14ft so pretty large - but east facing so can be quite dull...

Which colour would be best? Or can you recommend another from the range of paint?

I wouldnt do purple and purple tbh, would be better with creams and light greys imo.

Best light grey at the moment is skimming stone by johnstones I think. We just done some feature Walls for her in paper with purple shades in it, looks lovely.

Endurance isn't limited to a select few colours.

Looks a bit seedy for a bedroom does purple.
