Not too creamy not too white, a good in between colour... Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 Can't wait to see how your samples turn out. That's an interesting colour white Watsonia. Just googled it. nice Dulux Wall Colours 23May 09, 2016 1:35 am What about natural white? It's quite white without being too yellow or too cool. We just did our whole new build in natural white - architraves, ceiling the lot. We don't have cornices as its square set. Eventually we might do a feature somewhere but I'm more inclined to adorn the walls with some art for colour. It looks quite yellow there but it's just the light. Looks quite crisp on the walls but doesn't feel cold. Personally I would do your skirts the same colour but in an enamel semi gloss or full gloss (if you wanted to be more traditional).

My doors, skirting and architrave are vivid white. The ceiling is vivid white with a touch of grey It does look good, the subtle hue of yellow ever so slightly so it doesn't look clinical.

Thanks for those pics also, and can I ask what colour and material the laundry cabinets are made from?

I am so indecisive Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com The consultants are fabulous (ours were) we went in with no theme and they help you decide. We spent 75% of our budget before we got to cabinetry big part of it on flooring Hubby gave up once we got to kitchen lol so had to do it alone. Even though you complete internals you'll find you'll be making changes again after appointment. something better always comes up Re: Dulux Wall Colours 28May 09, 2016 5:11 pm I hope my consultants are as good as yours were, I've got 5 ideas scrapbooks - one for each appointment / area of the home. My husband thinks I'm a little extreme I kind of feel a bit sorry for the Studio M people in advance, it's going to be a long 2 days...

So far...from the DULUX paints, I have narrowed it down to 4 colours that all look pretty similar (grey-coffee colour) 1. Grand piano 2. Buff it 3. Beige Royal 4. Sandy Day PLEASE HELP!!! I have been looking at colours for the past 5 weeks - and it's driving me crazy!!!! I don't want the colout too beigy brown...I want it more of a grey/light coffee colour - more grey than coffee - Is that makes sense! But not grey grey!

Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com Re: Dulux Wall Colours 32May 09, 2016 6:14 pm It will be render - I havent chosen the colour of garage door or front door yet - Thinking maybe white for garage door....Windows will be white Re: Dulux Wall Colours 33May 09, 2016 6:33 pm Outdoors, none of those colours will offer much of a contrast with white/surfmist garage door and windows. They'll all be very, very light. To give you an idea of how much colours appear lighter on the exterior, compare colorbond surfmist with a sample for white windows. There'll be a contrast. On the exterior, they'll both look white.

Re: Dulux Wall Colours 35May 10, 2016 3:36 pm A note about Whisper White - I honestly love the colour. We painted it in our master bedroom and ensuite. However, it can throw off a slight greenish tinge at times, especially under artificial light (we have warm white bulbs in our bedroom). During the day it is a lovely white - not too warm, not too cool, definitely not creamy. But I probably wouldn't use it again because of that slight green that comes through. Best of luck picking paint - it took us forever and we ended up going with Solver Floral White in our new place (currently under construction.)

I think you've chosen the right render colour for your white Windows - it matches well in the picture you've supplied.

It is a lovely subtle colour by the way and throws beautiful shadows. My question is I want to do a feature wall in the bedroom - looking at dulux Island Sea - will that completely overpower the Whisper? Should I use half and half? Thanks Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply again. I had a chat with the builder, he said he will use primer, then hydrotec which comes with colour and sealer as well.
