I have a house full of swatches and paint charts and a Pinterest board full of inspiring images and rooms.<\/p>\n<p>I can be forgiven for this, we are currently in the middle of renovating our kitchen and hallway. We moved into our house last year, and have so far decorated the lounge and dining room with no arguments. We\u2019ve even narrowed the colour of our hallway down to a light blue, we just need to choose the exact shade.<\/p>\n<p>The kitchen, on the other hand, is becoming a bit of a battleground. I love soft blues, greys, greens but my husband wants (in his words) a bit of colour (he much prefers reds and yellows). This has led to a standoff. Neither of us will budge! That was until I saw that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farrow-ball.com\/discover-new-colours\/content\/fcp-content\">Farrow and Ball<\/a>\u00a0had introduce nine new colours \u2013 our problems might be solved!<\/p>\n<p>Their gorgeous new colours include soft neutrals, gentle pastels and wonderfully vibrant accents to add a bit of fun. Their quirky way of displaying their new colours had me hooked immediately!<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/AnimalEscapePage.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/nine-new-colours\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/AnimalEscapePage.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/nine-new-colours\/&text=Nine New Colours\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/nine-new-colours\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/AnimalEscapePage.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p>I think my favourite has to be Peignor. The soft pinky grey tones have such a romantic feel, a beautiful muted pink that isn&#8217;t too sickly.

It\u2019s such a soothing, gentle tone I think this would create the perfect environment to cook and wind down after a day at work. As Farrow and Ball say, it is neither too blue nor too grey.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Cromarty-1.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/nine-new-colours\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Cromarty-1.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/nine-new-colours\/&text=Nine New Colours\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/nine-new-colours\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Cromarty-1.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p>The last one I\u2019ll mention is the Inchyra Blue.
