Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Dulux Wall Colours 31May 09, 2016 6:03 pm ItalianGal They say when painting the exterior of the house to go 2 - 4 shades darker (because of the sun) I was a little put off on 1 of the reviews above saying that Sandy Day looked pink. 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! LOL Any help on these 4 colours would be great Are you painting render or weatherboard and what colour will your garage door, entry door and Windows be? 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.

I love Whisper White too, I ended up choosing it for my kitchen cabinetry. Still undecided about the walls though!

Thank you Alymei, I am going back to Dulux to get more sample pots so I will definitely check this out Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com Re: Dulux Wall Colours 40May 11, 2016 4:41 pm Hi I have whisper white throughout a new build at the moment. 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.
