Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Oct 18, 2010 1:36 pm Hi There I have purchased a home interstate in which I am moving into in january, the problem is I am wanting it painted prior to me moving in, I have lined up the painters I am going to use however I am stuck on color choice. I am 100% certain that I am going to go with WHITE WHITE skirtings and woodwork (High Shine) however I am confused as to what color choice I will choose on the walls. My home that I am living in currently I had painted 2 years ago in Hog bristle 1/2 and although I am not 100% decided whether or not I like it much I am thinking to go with that as I have LIVED IT.. Does anyone have ECRU ? or similar on their walls? Is there much of a difference between Ecru and Hog Bristle ? I am even possibly considering Hog Bristle 1/4 with the white woodwork.. Can anyone show me photos of their color choices to give me abit of an idea. Maybe any suggestions similar to Hog bristle ??? I have gone countless times into paint shops etc however it just is too overwhelming with all the different shades and some just look so similar to eachother.. Thankyou so much. Re: Painting Color Advice...PLEASEEEEeeeeeeeeee 2Oct 18, 2010 11:47 pm I tried out about 5 test pots which included Ecru, Stowe White and Hogs Bristle. I think you need to test them out on big pieces of gyprock in the rooms they will be in as they look a lot different than under the fluoro lights at the paint store. I found Stowe White to be too yellowy, Ecru was nice (Freedom have this on one of their displays I think) and Hogs Bristle seemed to have more of a brownish tinge. What colour flooring/kitchen/tiles etc are you planning on having? Re: Painting Color Advice...PLEASEEEEeeeeeeeeee 3Oct 19, 2010 11:45 am Photos would be good.

We ended up putting Hog Bristle 1/4 in the laundry and bathroom, but are going natural white everywhere else (except for bed 1 and ens). Be careful with ecru...I was almost sure that that was the colour I wanted until I tried a sample pot. It seemed to have a green tinge to it and can be pretty overpowering, however, that was full strength, it may have been different at 1/2 or 1/4. Good luck =) I know what your going through!! After building an entire house and choosing everything, the colours were the hardest thing!
