Hi all, I would be most appreciative of some advice on quality low-sheen interior paint please. I am so confused! There are so many brands and my concern is that 'marketing $$' can pretty much govern the market choice - not necessarily genuineness.

i am in Australia so would be considering what seems to dominate the market, Dulux & Taubmans v Resene; Sherwin William's;

Stunning blue based but earthy grey by Sherwin Williams (available at Masters) is called "Online" - gorgeous with crisp white trims!

Not the best pic, but here's a photo of the colour swatch

Does does anyone know what the closest match in Australia would be for Benjamin Moore -smoke or soft chinchilla? I'm absolutely in love with those two colours but have had no luck here :( thankyou

xbuzznshellzx, check out the post by buttrfluttr in this [old thread[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/benjamin-moore-paint-in-austrilia-can-i-match-dsvw-vd~799560). If no luck doing it this way try order the BM paint card samples then take into any store that has a spectrophotometer. They can do a read on the sample to work out a formula.

Thanks doraime :) I will try that. I've bought a few samples from bunnings thinking they looked close to the computer sample but have been so far off lol

cant afford to have a mosaic wall of blues!

Ive painted the inside of my house dulux - tranquil retreat. It's a nice grey with touch of blue so wanted to stay close to that :)

Hi Nicole, have you checked the Resene Paints? Available here in Aus & in my opinion a great product (no, I don't work for them! But I've chosen them in my home) maybe look at there Karen Waker range. - Periglacial Blue, Powder Blue, clouded Blue :)

Woops sorry . My previous message was meant for 'clap hands' but nice to connect with you Nicole :)
