Dulux Limed White Half Strength The reason iask is that I have started to pain my house in this color but it is starting to look more beige there grey as shown on the sample. Anyone got photos of a room painted in this color?? Re: Dulux Limed White Half Strength 2May 29, 2009 5:27 pm I don't, but I would be interested in seeing pics because we are considering this colour also.... Re: Dulux Limed White Half Strength 3May 31, 2009 8:13 pm Changing the depth of colours is tricky borg….once you start to do that the colour starts to change slightly. I regularly stick to full strength where I can, its safer that way, you know what you are getting. If in doubt….always get sample pots to start with.

I bought a dulux sample pot of Dul Limed white (1/2). I like the color so i ordered my 15 litre drum of haymes paint. When i painted the paint on the wall it looked different. It turns out tha is is slighly more beige then the dulux sample pot. The funny thing is when i paint onthe paper sample with the haymes I cant even see which is printed and which is painted. It turns out the dulux color isnt that true as the orginal dulux sample. I just hope it looks good. I did a small area with two coats and it looks much better still not the grey hue on of the dulux sample pot, and i will never be able to find out what color it is as it is probably wrong now on the sample pot label. Re: Dulux Limed White Half Strength 5May 31, 2009 8:36 pm They are only standard colours now, as people are doing the ¼ and ½ all the time, once upon a time, you had to ask for it. Sounds like you may not have had the paint mixed right….by whoever? I might be wrong, but I’ve been dealing with Dulux for 14 years, which is why I am still using them, what you see is what you get. UNLESS, you change to anther brand of paint. That’s when problems CAN happen, although, should not.

I am using the haymes paint as find it better than anything else that i have used. Their ceiling white is got to be the best paint product i have ever seen. Re: Dulux Limed White Half Strength 7Jun 01, 2009 6:54 pm borg yes like you have mentioned many times on this forum I have gotten my sample pot from bunnings . good to see you are getting a good result with Haymes, I hear they are a good brand of paint.

As for your problem... Could the issue be that you got Haymes paint rather than Dulux and the white base is slightly different before they tint it?? I know some of the different brands vary slightly in their bases.
