I don't completely trust how these colours come up on the monitor, as White on White is not blue on my walls . Have you painted a small strip of it next to other whites, mandystoj? In which case it might have given off a blue tinge but if you plan to use it throughout it just looks nice and white. Really. I had a thread some time ago but all my photos got jumbled when I deleted some of them on Photobucket. Also, the shelf on my photo above is Laminex Polar White, it's pure white and the wall goes with it nicely.

Regarding the white on white colour. I actually went in a home that was recently painted the colour and ti definately has a blue tinge. It is quote a small area and could be the light, who knows.

Re: White on White by dulux 17Feb 10, 2010 5:03 pm mandystoj Michelle or anyone...can you explain to me what happens to the paint if it is half or quarter? I want to use Lexicon, but what changes it if it is half/quarter/full? Does it get brighter/whiter or greyer? A colour like Lexicon, which is already very light, may get quite bright. I see no reason to take this colour up more than it is, it’s already very light.

I may go 'steal' a room downstairs in the garage and paint it with the lexicon colours at my (mums) house hehe. Then I will get a perfect idea of how it will look.

Re: White on White by dulux 19Feb 10, 2010 10:43 pm We used White on white pretty much throughout our home but also included some coloured feature walls. Our painter was really worried that we wouldn't like it but we love it and definitely don't see any blue in it at all. We even have it on skirtings and doors on a blue wall and it just looks very white. I can't attach pictures because my 'files are too large' but if you want to pm me I should be able to email them to you - especially if you want to see the paint alongside other colours or with timber floors.
