Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 May 16, 2009 10:25 am After wasting a fortune on dulux sample pots and giving up on all my original colours I have finally selected dulux Light Rice in half strength for our walls. I was going to go with Antique White USA for the Arcs and Doors, does this go with the wall colour?

I would really appreciate help with this choice. Thanks in advance. Jodes Re: Colour to go with Dulux Light Rice half 2May 16, 2009 2:55 pm Light Rice ½ …..I would go with a pure white to contrast.
