Browse Forums General Discussion Re: SO. MANY. WHITE. PAINTS!!!!!! 14Mar 13, 2016 4:00 pm We were pushed by our colour consultant as she wanted to pick up her kids before a storm hit. Most of the things we ended up by changing later but have kept to her recommendation of Dulux Whisper White low sheen on the walls and the same in semi gloss for the doors, architraves and skirtings. We have no idea if we've made the right choice, will no doubt find out in 6 months or so! Re: SO. MANY. WHITE. PAINTS!!!!!! 16Mar 18, 2016 11:54 am Ok well before I could overthink it too much the builder whipped ahead and our natural white full strength is going on! Looks great so far. I'll put some pics up in a thread though digital is really hard to get an idea. Custom knockdown rebuild Newcastle NSW viewtopic.php?t=78271 Re: SO. MANY. WHITE. PAINTS!!!!!! 17Mar 19, 2016 5:48 am If I am not mistaken, 1/4 strength will be brightest, 1/2 a little less and full strength the least (brightest). That's what out painter told us anyhow. We are going with Lexicon White in 1/4 strength. Our kitchen cabinets are Lexicon White but in 2 pack matt finish. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Custom owner build in Hume - VIC - Tiling Stage http://goo.gl/qpPglB Re: SO.

That's what out painter told us anyhow. We are going with Lexicon White in 1/4 strength. Our kitchen cabinets are Lexicon White but in 2 pack matt finish. Yeah exactly right but my query was whether the full would look too yellow or the half, too stark. I hope the full ends up being the right choice. The painter thought it would be a nice balance against our kitchen cabinets which are quite a stark white but I just hope it's not too yellow.

PAINTS!!!!!! 19Mar 23, 2016 8:26 pm Our painter has started the painting with the full strength natural white and it looks great. It doesnt seem to throw any colour but a beautiful white.

Our white gloss kitchen goes in next wednesday so im really excited/nervous to see if the colours go ok together! Fingers crossed Re: SO. MANY. WHITE.

It's quite a forgiving colour. Ask them what they use for the skirts etc. Our painter is using a water based enamel style product (it's the oil based on the skirts etc that tends to yellow over time).
