Thanks for this thread, we're also going to be using Taubman's colours. The white colour book from Taubmans is very 'creamy' oriented in the 'whites' they picked for that book.

Anyone happen to have used any colours from the pale blue-ish end of the spectrum for their primary wall colours? (We're initially thinking 'Nicholas Blue', with a darker grey feature colour)
I see a lot of taupe/beige around with white trimmings.

Hi Koroboo,

We're using Snow Ballet for walls, ceiling and trim (trims in gloss)

It's in the cool side of the whites, but not overly blue or grey. I found the Nicholas one a little too blue, when comparing to some other whites.

Great thread, thanks guys. We are choosing internal paint colours soon too and it must be Taubmans. DH and I know we want white, and I knew there really was no such thing as white, but reading this thread has done my head in!

SunshineT welcome to the headache zone. As said before you have to be careful with the Taubmans colours as they pick up everything around them and most have an inclination towards a warm tone. The second Taubman's colour centre I went to actually recommended using the Resene colours so that tells you something doesn't it? I wish I had known this when chosing the external paint colour because at certain times of the day it throws quite a bit of pink despite being told by a 'colour expert' that it is definately a grey taupe with no hint of yellow or pink. Way too big a job to change so stuck with it. Although I was told by the builder the colour had to come off the colour chart it didn't have to be that way when I spoke to the painter. He was happy to get the paint tinted to any other company's colour so long as the paint iself was Taubmans. Also I said before we went for a Resene colour which looks fabulous and just what I wanted now that it is up. Good luck with it all, Ihope to move into mine next week. We had a great builder and fabulous tradies all the way. the paint colour and the lights gave me the most tress.

Hi Bankgirl. Great to hear that you are happy with your internal paint (which is what you will be looking at the most the time anyway). Yes I read that you used Resene. Very interesting. Would love to see photos of your Alabaster and Eigtht Tea ... (I also don't like creams). T

I second the request for pics!

Going to third, more pics! The wife is not a big fan of creams/yellow-y tinged colours internally. Thanks all for a great thread thus far.

EDIT: should mention that we're going to drop by the Taubman's colour centre in Eastwood (Sydney) this Sunday - I'll post some replies with what they say.

EDIT EDIT: Went to a place but it wasn't a Taubman's colour centre per se, so... might pop by the one in Parramatta this weekend.

And fourth for pics please - also at critical Taubman's decision stage and really do not want anything creamy!!!!
