Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Yet another Taubmans white paint question 21Apr 17, 2012 4:34 pm 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. Yet another Taubmans white paint question 22Apr 17, 2012 5:53 pm 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. Re: Yet another Taubmans white paint question 23Apr 18, 2012 2:54 pm 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!

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. Re: Yet another Taubmans white paint question 25Apr 18, 2012 3:22 pm 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).

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. Re: Yet another Taubmans white paint question 28Apr 26, 2012 1:37 pm And fourth for pics please - also at critical Taubman's decision stage and really do not want anything creamy!!!!

Only exists in the dark and it's not that distinct in real life. Re: Yet another Taubmans white paint question 33May 13, 2014 8:19 pm Probably going to leave it now. It's only really noticeable in one of the bedrooms (with the smallest window and it's blocked by next door too, so not much light gets through). Re: Yet another Taubmans white paint question 34May 27, 2014 2:03 pm 80sq_place Hi.. Does anyone have a photo you can share of a Taubmans Crisp White on Walls against a ceiling white? We are almost ready for paint and want to achieve the modern contemporary look against the Charcoal slate floor tiles.. The ceiling will be Elusive white, so will the skirting, architraves and doors. Any information here will be much appreciated... Also don’t use Bunning’s samples pots as I believe they use the wrong base to begin with! Hi 80sq_place, I am also doing the same. Ceiling white (Matt acrylic) with a taubmans crisp white wall. Is there anyway I can see some photos. Please help anyone did the same. Thanks a lot.
