    I find that most of Dulux whites have strong yellow, pink, green or blue undertones. I wouldn't go near Lexicon and it's half and quarter variants at more light blue grey than a white. Natural White has a pinkish purple undertone. Out of the dozens of Dulux white samples I've done Casper White Half and Snowy Mountain Half are by far the best and most neutral whites that don't look yellow, pink, green or blue.

  • @bt1929

    How about lexicon half ? How does this look on interior walls ?

    • @oot007
      @oot007 10 місяців тому

      I got sample pots of Lexicon and it's half and quarter variants and they were all awful. It's more light blue grey than white. If you want a natural white look then better to stick with whites that have neutral grey beige undertones such as Casper White Half or Wattyl Manhattan Snow.

    A colour expert from my local paint shop recommended we use white on white inside our brand new home and we hate it! Exactly what you said it’s throwing off blue everywhere as it’s a dark house with not much sunlight, also beyond terrible at night time with cool lighting! Very very upset as it’s a brand new home and am now looking at how much it will cost to re paint the entire interior. Wish I saw this video early

    I used Natural White in my family room. I decided I was not happy with the colour, because it has a light grey tone to it. Luckily it is the lightest room. Will wait till I clear that area and possible go over it. I used half strength fair haven to warm up my spaces as too light made if feel colder. What is your opinion of the Natural White, Semi Gloss?

    Hi Laura. Your video is by far the best that I have found. I am confused between Natural White and Whisper White. I have a modern 90's, 2-story home, not much character with similar to terracotta-colored floors in the living room. The living room is large with a high sloped ceiling and with a feature/window wall which I'm wanting to do in Domino to give a dramatic contrast. This room doesn't get much light (while the upstairs bedroom does)....currently the walls are painted in lexicon quarter which throws off any ugly blue. I am wanting to steer away from any blue and so am deciding between Natural white or Whisper white. Can you advise please or steer me on the right track? Yes, all these whites can be very confusing! Thank you.

    Hi Laura i have a cream kitchen, redish countertop but id love to change them to wooden counter tops. what would be a good paint for the walls?

    • @lauradensem2294
      @lauradensem2294 2 роки тому

      Hi there, sounds like a lovely change the timber benchtops will look lovely. Usually with cream cabinets it’s best to go for more of a beige tone on the walls that’s deeper than a white? Something like Dulux grand piano half could look nice depending you the creaminess of your cream! Hog bristle palette might even be a good option too. If you are after a white Stowe White or Berkshire White tend to work best with existing creams depending on the cream. Good luck!

    Hi Laura. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I only wish I watched them earlier. I just painted a new build lexicon quarter and regret it. I cannot stand the blue undertone as you mention! I am going to repaint the interior to natural white. Do you think it would be ok on just the walls and leaving lexicon quarter on the ceiling or should I be repainting the ceiling to natural white as well?

    Hi Laura, Thanks very much for your videos. We have found them very helpful. We have a new build, beach house on the mid north coast of NSW. We have plenty of windows for breezes and light with a light timber floor. We like the look of White Exchange Half (rather than quarter) with with Lexicon quarter trim. Would this combination work?

  • @fosman

    I've painted most rooms in my unit White Exchange Quarter with Lexicon Half as the trim and door colour, and I'm very happy with the result. I love the contrast that the Lexicon Half provides. It gives the illusion of the wall being a deeper shade than it is, without actually using a darker colour. The White Exchange Quarter looks modern and has a bit of warmth without developing a yellow or greenish tint like Whisper White did in my previous home. To me it looks best in direct sunlight but WEQ never looks too cool/bluish on grey, overcast days.

    Thank you so much Laura. Your post was just what I needed to get started with my kitchen family room makeover. I’m changing my kitchen by replacing wooden bench tops with grey/white veined stone. I feel like white exchange quarter is a great match for the stone colour and intend on painting cabinetry, doors, skirtings and architraves in this colour. My floors are 70s wood and the room has light entering from the north. I would love a warm colour on the walls and wonder which shade of beige you suggest to work best with the white exchange quarter trims ? I do prefer a warmer feel to my room but hate yellow tones.
