What is the best white or near white paint for rooms which are dark?
Comments (15)@courton, I've been in a quandry since purchasing a sample pot of Lexicon as it was visibly blue although not so much in the quarter strength, but I too want a warm colour and not a cool colour. I have a sample of Dulux Light Rice quarter possibly for the walls and Dulux Natural White for the roof but I'm still not sure. I wanted to stick to brown tones as that is what seems to catch my eye and Light Rice is the lightest colour in the dulux colour wall in the browns and the Natural White simply tones in with it and no other reason. Will still have to wait till I can paint up a sample but I previously tried Stucco and Harbour Stone and both were a bit too caramely for me and too coloured if that makes sense, even though I have seen Stucco in a bedroom and kitchen and it looked great but just isn't working for me now that I've tried it myself. Interesting how you can see a colour in someone else's home and it looks great but when you try it yourself, you hate it!!! I have allot of windows and door ways and very little wall area and I don't want a jigsaw effect of colour running around these areas and be jumping out at me when I walk into the home, instead I want to have to look for the walls and barely see colour....See MoreWhich white to choose for kitchen

Comments (4)Without seeing the existing woodwork ( doors and skirting ) , I'd actually be tempted to redo that in a nice warm midbrown with a reddish tinge . Hogs Bristle is a pretty 'meh' sandy colour , and I assume colours like that are made so that something else becomes the highlight -- whether it be the wood features , the furniture , the artwork , or any other feature . To add white or off-white just doubles down the bland factor -- depending on the era of your house , if I had to go with Bristle I'd probably go with an Antique Red , or Ironstone , or similar ( even a Charcoal shade ) to add some colour without scaring anyone ....See MorePicture of painted interior wall in hog bristle full with natural whit
