I'm going to be tricky and recommend staying within the cool palette. Sometimes when you mix warm and cool colours, even if they're neutrals, they can bounce off each other strangely and look bad. Lexicon is pure white with only a touch of black added (no other pigments) and your 'Black White' cupboards may well be the same. Paint some areas with a sample pot first if you're feeling hesitant, but I do think the colour consultant was a great idea. Good luck!

Thanks guys for the recommendation . Here are the sample paints against the floor board . Leaning towards natural white and casper white 1/4 . But since casper white is cool tone . Has any one mix warm floor and cool color wall ? And then grey pebble 1/4 for bedrooms .

Hi Mikala, one downside to using a Dulux consultant is that they are only going to specify their own products. Going with an independent colour designer they will work and select from a range of suppliers. Even with 4000+ colours in the Dulux range, it sometimes just doesn’t have just the right hue. If you are looking at speciality finishes there are other brands that I go to first as they often have better depth of colour and finish. A consultant in addition to the selection of colours and products, will specify placement which is just as important. If you are updating other elements in your home then a colour designer can assist with colour selections (eg a dark blue sofa that you then shop for). An interior designer/decorator can also specify and source (this particular blue sofa with this fabric/size) as part of a fuller ranger of services they offer. They could also specify other finishes to the walls like wallpaper. All the best, Louise, Decoro Custom Interiors - Window Treatment Specialist, Sydney

Hi, I don’t know if this helps but in out Reno we did last year we chose lexicon quarter for our walls. I don’t regret it as it suits what we did style wise, and it is a ground floor apartment so needs the extra brightness for reflection - it was previously painted hogbristle and looked really dingy and dark. I agree with the above comment that lexicon is stark. For our new house I’ve gone with Surfmist outside and a warm light grey inside - so two warm tones, but that’s because I wanted a more cozy feel as opposed to a fresh and bright feel. I don’t think it matters on outside vs inside though, I think it really depends on your furnishings and fixtures/floors etc. For example I personally wouldn’t paint my house lexicon if all of my furniture was rich wood and warm tones.
