WOW really?? I actually thought that Buff it was more greyer than the other colours...and sandy day looks more grey too - Wow! Thank you for that :)

I will be doing Ghosting all inside the house - love it :)

Thanks again Carmen :)

I'm a white duck fan for a great beige-grey colour and agree with Carmen Parker Styling's suggestions. But also wondered if you love ghosting and are having that inside have you considered looking at a deeper version of same shade for the exterior such as powered rock or paving stone?

Inside, I am having light grey Italian tiles,, so I was either going to go with Dulux natural white on the walls or quarter strength Ghosting...I think Ghosting will compliment the tiles really well...but outside I didn't want to go full grey...I wanted to mix it up a little with slight coffee in it - but not too coffeeish lol and not too grey (something in between)

So anything from a coffee colour to a grey would be ideal :)

I think Ghosting will be too grey for outside...But i will check out the other colours you recommended :)

Question.............Do you think Beige Royal is more grey than beige? I think I will order a sample pot.

Thanks again

Definitely get sample pots! Also see if you can get brush-outs of the colour in various strengths. Look at them at the building site if possible. Good luck!

I would say it is more beige than grey. It has been quite some time since I have looked at a sample not online though. I like to look at the dulux colour atlas to see where the 'white/neutral' sits in relation to stronger colours. For example the white duck/oyster linen suggested sit in the green toned region. I like white duck for our home as we have woodland grey colourbond and I feel it is a charcoal with a green under tone. Based on your description of what you are after beige Royal sounds like a good choice. Fingers crossed sample pot helps you finalise selection against your charcoal roof colour and lighting.

I have just bought a sample of beige royal and painted the exterior. It is far too light in the sun - almost white!

It's very frustrating ... Dulux colour swatches are nothing like the paint. Our Dulux colour consultant recommened Apparition for our upper level and it is so pale. Our block rendered fence is Oyster Linen which is OK but nothing like the swatch cocolour.
