Apparently a deviation of 0.30 is acceptable.
It sounds like they have used the Dulux brochure as the reference point. Not sure what to do at this point. Everyone who compares the painted sample board to our cupboards agrees it's different (and the board matches the two bedrooms and the exterior cladding we painted in the same colour). Questions: 1. Does anyone know who decreed that 0.30 microns is an acceptable deviation? 2. Is it appropriate to use Dulux's "Directions in White" brochure as a reference point for testing? 3. Any other advice from paint experts out there? We're now post-handover, but the builder will go after the painter if we can show the colour is incorrect. Re: Antique White USA - Oops, not really 14Dec 17, 2008 4:02 pm The paint used in the colour brochures is the real paint; it’s been painted onto the samples.
IMO, they should have bought a cheap $7 sample pot of the real thing and charged that onto you, that’s no biggy and a no brainer to get the paint right! This is a tough one! I think I have a sample of the Antique White USA in an A4…..it’s the real paint! What you see with Dulux is what you get, that’s why I use them. Do you want me to send it to you? It will be the perfect sample for you! PM me your address if you want the sample, I’ll get it off to you ASAP.
