We're thinking of a fresh coat of paint before we move in and are considering this Dulux colour combination: - Light rice 1/2 for the walls - White watsonia (in semi gloss) for the trims - White watsonia (no gloss) between the picture rail and ceiling - White watsonia for the ceiling Here's a picture of the living room currently. http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/3236/pmg6.jpg Has anyone used light rice before? If so, which white did you use? Look forward to your comments and thanks in advance!! Ramona Re: Dulux Light Rice 1/2 - Which white? 2Jun 27, 2013 8:42 pm I have used Light Rice many times in the past. Your home is gorgeous, perfect for accents paints. Is is a "Californian Bungalow" style home?

In your experience which colour do you think would best suit this style of home? Thanks again for your help!!
