Wondering if anyone knows a Dulux paint colour that is similar to Taubmans Flokati Half Strength? It is for an exterior rendered house.

Hi just looking for some advice regarding a render using taubmans or dulux? Does anyone know which is better for an Australian climate? Any thoughts I would appreciate thanks!

Taubmans vs Resene is a odd comparison. Resene is a premium paint brand and it’s Black White tint is popular for a gallery feel. It offers a thicker pigmented paint. I’ve not used it but have admired it a lot in magazines. I’ve found Taubmans to be runnier than Dulux and harder to apply. There’s a reason Resene is a higher price point than Taubmans. Having said that there are plenty of houses painted in Taubmans that look great. I would think that a lot comes down to application. You can Google best paint in Australia and read the opinions of professionals. If you’ve chosen and love a particular Resene colour you won’t get an exact replica by tinting into another paint, as it just won’t have the pigment. But it’s always worth a sample point to have a look.

Love the sound of the style for the studio. Pick the stone you love and get a sample. You can then pick up a colour chart or from Bunnings and narrow down a couple of white choices that work with the stone. You can then paint or order larger samples of the white and see what you think. My opinion is that the Silestone is the better choice. It’s still a clear white but a touch less bright which would work with the look you’re after.
