There are typically more temperatures of 'white' than just warm or cool. We use a neutral daylight LED (which is between the warm and cool LED shades) across the house. I would actually look at a few things, first, do you have other lighting sources? This comes into play if you have a central pendant light or floor lamps in the middle of LED downlights. It can really throw off an effect you may wish to create if they have two temperatures. We have a central pendant that is warm, and the downlights are neutral. I only ever use one set of lights at a time so it isn't a big deal. The pendant creates a warm welcome feeling and I use it for dinner parties and rich warm and spicy foods. The downlights I use for serving fish and Japanese foods, things that are about the presentation and the content, where a light that is more central or blue gives the food a clean fresh look. Restaurants will often design their lighting schemes around the style of food they serve. Secondarily, what shade is the wall and your furnishings? Warm whites look better with rich historical or industrial looks, jewel and brown tones. Cool whites look better with grays, blues and modern clean lines. Mid range daylight and similar temperature lights are good compromises.

We have done all of the downstairs open plan area in Caspar white quarter. Skirts done in same colour in gloss with vivid white ceiling & cornice. We had a4 samples of 4 Dulux whites: Snowy Mountains 1/2, white exchange 1/2, white polar 1/4. Moved the samples to every room with hubby & wrote down which we preferred. Tried them in north and south rooms in day and night light. CW1/4 was hands down the favourite. It looks great - crisp & clean with no blue, we love it. Photos were taken at night. Hope this helps.

Having a problem choosing a white for my cupboards, benches are Caesarstone Empira white . Dulux 1/4 lexicon recommended by caesarstone . Should I go gloss or semi gloss . I don’t like a Matt finish . I want it be white . not off white ,any suggestions. It’s such a big decision . Cheers Annie

Can people please tell me if honed concrete with a white or off white cement is difficult to keep clean?
