I used white duck 1/4 throughout the house wall. Pure white ceilings and white satin oil enamel for skirting and architraves. In the larger rooms, it looks a little too light, but in the bedrooms it looks darker. If I had my time again I would use white duck 1/2 strength everywhere but bedrooms. Bedrooms look good in 1/4 strength. 3 coat system, except for ceiling where the painters said they did 4 coats for me. The painters have done a good job overall, I will tell them to touch up a few areas when they are back. They sprayed the enamel, looks fantastic as its smooth, but I'm in two minds as there is no way you can touch it up. Re: Please help with paint colour silkwort or other grey 22Feb 23, 2013 11:35 am LeanneR I have silkwort feature wall in my daughters room and other walls at white duck 1/4 (same as entire house). Can post a pic if needed?? I'm using bleaches half for my new house. Was going to do silkwort for bedrooms but decided too dark for all walls as windows will be tinted too. So I'm doing bleaches full for bedrooms & theatre That would be fantastic LeanneR.
