Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Sep 13, 2010 9:22 am I'm thinking of changing the paint colour in my wet areas (bathroom/laundry/toilet) to a lighter colour The HB 1/2 feels so dark in those areas. I didn't realise we wouldn't get a lot of natural light in those areas. I'll try HB 1/4 but I was more so thinking perhaps a whitish colour but still tie in with the HB 1/2 in the hallway. Can you suggest any whites which will tie in with HB? Pic below is of laundry (main bathroom has same colour benchtop/cabinets and they are all in the one area and separated by the toilet).

Also a dark room and it has made it look heaps bigger. We had full strength off white first and then went to half strength. That looked good too Re: Whitish paint colour to match HB 1/2 3Sep 13, 2010 10:09 am Thanks tjilpi for your suggestion. I forgot to add that all our trims, internal doors etc are done in Dulux white on white in full gloss. So do you think this will confuse the matter more by then trying to match a new white paint to those doors, trims etc and HB 1/2? A couple of more pics of the laundry with the doors in white on white: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Whitish paint colour to match HB 1/2 5Sep 13, 2010 4:07 pm Thanks for your reply tjilpi. tjilpi I'm not sure what tint white on white has, Hmmm, me either. I know it's a perfect match to our pearl white window frames as that is what we wanted a match to and some whites looked too different against it so our painter suggested the white on white and it blends perfectly. I'll look into dulux off white for sure. Is it a stark white? The white-on-white is a very stark white. So it may be enough of a contrast. Any other whites or colour suggestions are welcome from anyone!! Thanks heaps! Re: Whitish paint colour to match HB 1/2 6Sep 13, 2010 6:52 pm Maybe Dulux Natural White?? Peplum quarter??

Peplum quarter?? Thanks for your suggestions flaggy . I'll grab some sample cards of those colours and try them up against my HB. kerry-ann Really like HB & white together,will be my choice,other than that can't help sorry,BUT I LOVE YOUR LAUNDRY Thanks kerry-ann. I never really pictured white against HB cos of the two different tonings but I think it can work quite nicely (if I can find the right white ) Re: Whitish paint colour to match HB 1/2 9Sep 14, 2010 10:10 am I tried Natural White. It has a slight yellow tint but is very white. I'm not sure if it would contrast against your white on white. Antique White, Natural White and Off White or any with the ochre/pink tints, will all go with HB.(Blue / Grey whites not so much) It depends which white you like. I chose 1/2 Off White because it wasn't quite so yellow as Chalk, but has a bit of warmth and toned in well with the HB.

Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7383 Thank you.
