I was searching ‘Misty White’ and your thread came up. I just wanted to know how it turned out and if you’re happy with it? I’m also building with Dale Alcock Homes and I originally chose ‘Misty White’ at prestart for our doors and door frames because we were handed a big pile of whites and told to choose one! My hubby and I are not great with colours so we just picked one and went with it, not knowing anything about shades etc. A little while later we spoke to an Interior Designer who said ‘Misty White’ tends to be more yellow/ creamy which would not suit our colour scheme at all (mainly warm greys) so she suggested ‘Designer White’ as a more crisp white instead. So we made a variation as our painting was still months off and also changed our front door colour from a dark brown/grey to the same ‘Designer White’. Finally this week (four months later!) we’ve got to the painting stage and somehow our painters were given the old colours despite it being changed on the addendum in November! We have been allocated a new CLO this week who is saying the shades are so similar that we should stick with it (and the grey front door would be great too!). Clearly it’s too much trouble for them to rectify. That’s why I thought I’d see if you were happy with this shade or not. We are generally a very easygoing couple (I’ve worked on the ‘front line’ at a large perth building company in the past so know they have a lot to deal with), but we both know that if the shade is too yellowy looking it is going to really bug us, (and we’ve already ordered blinds and chosen all of our wall colours based on ‘Designer White’!!). I hate being in this dilemma, as we’ve had nothing but wonderful customer service up until now! Re: Building with Dale Alcock in Wattle Grove 42Mar 15, 2013 5:06 pm Hi Angelag.
