Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Mar 19, 2010 12:41 pm Need to pick internal paint colour asap. Looking at Whisper White with builders white on the ceiling, cornice, skirting etc. Does whisper white throw any green? I have read this somewhere but cant find the post again now. We have all greys and whites, and are looking for a slight contrast against the builders white. Does anyone have any comments or other suggestions on this? I would post a picture of our tile selection but we had to get a new tile at the last minute and I dont have a photo of the new one! At this stage, benchtops are going to be QQ Starlight White, lower cabinets in 2pak Dulux Tristan (mid grey - I dont know how other people post the colours so if anyone could give me a hint that would be great), glass overhead cabinets. Light polished porcelain tile with a slight grey pattern through it, mid grey carpet (hasnt been picked yet but will be grey - not too dark). Re: Whisper White... 3Mar 19, 2010 4:44 pm Do you think there is enough of a contrast between the two? Are you having a grey theme as well?? Re: Whisper White... 4Mar 19, 2010 6:03 pm I see more yellow in Whisper White. If you have greys, it will pick the greys up and throw that.

Are you having a grey theme as well?? yeh I guess we are having grey-brownish. I like the contrast, it's subtle, but enough to see IYKWIM Re: Whisper White... 6Mar 19, 2010 7:53 pm I can see what you mean about the yellows. I just got home and dug out all the little paint chips I have from Dulux... I was thinking it was the light I was looking at it under. I am now thinking maybe white duck quarter. I also have Limed White here and like the look of the quarter one, but im going to have to wait until I see them in natural light tomorrow - I really do think the lights here are too yellow. I might do a bit of a search for Limed white and White duck on here to see if I can see any photos. Re: Whisper White... 7Mar 22, 2010 8:58 am After a million sample pots later, and looking throught the book at the dulux shop forever, we have decided to just go lexicon 100% with ceiling white for ceiling and cornices. Architraves and skirting are going tobe gloss lexicon as well. (Painter recommends this as white may turn yellow)... We got a pot of 200% lexicon and it just looked too blue so we gave up in the end Painters have started the first coat, so should see what it looks like by the end of the week!
