I would be matching this with gloss white doors and architraves? I think Buff It matches our floor tile perfectly. I love it!!! The only thing is we got 1/2 strength sample pot and I think it is a little light... 2. For the kitchen, do you think Laminex Moleskin with Latte cesarstone and a white tiled splashback would look okay? I am a little worried of mixing the white with the latte as the latte has a yellow base? The wall where the splashback will be in our kitchen is 4 metres long. Do you think it will contrast nicely or be too overbearing??? Pic of our floor tile is below in case you need it. http://i831.photobucket.com/albums/zz237/nandn02/Home/P1010066.jpg Thanks so much!!!

I'm still not convinced our wall colour quite matches the darkness of the colour card for 1/2 strength, but the painters insist it's correct. So if your rooms get good light I recommend full strength and I would use it too if I could do it over again. Re: 2 questions... 6Mar 29, 2010 8:28 am Thanks Pauline and Caroline J. I will keep that in mind. It does appear to be a very light colour (but georgeous - I love it!). Hmmmm, perhaps off to get another sample pot of full strength and I will compare! Oh and thanks also Michelle - you're always so helpful!!
