Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Oct 25, 2009 4:01 pm I was talking to a friend about what colours we're painting the house when it's done (mainly off white or white with feature walls. No idea where yet, but we have time to work that out ). When I mentioned the off white or white, she was saying to be really careful as depending on the light in the room it will not look nice on all the walls, could look like grey on some walls or yellowy on another, and that we should get an interior decorator in to make sure we're using the right shade of white. I thought this was strange as when I've been following this thread, there's been no mention of this. Is this the case? Re: White Paints 2Oct 26, 2009 6:59 pm Quite truthfully, all colours in different lights will throw a different colour. Whites will throw whatever their base colour is, look carefully at what the base colour is to all whites you like. Ask whats in them, the guys who mix paint can tell you.

The off white walls look pink at night and the bright white trim looks blue. It is definitely a problem. I would suggest painting a little of each white on the walls and see what it looks like for each time of day - then decide what color to use.
