Need Paint same colour as Ikea Off White Kitchen Cubpoards

All

We have put in two doors in our kitchen and want to paint them the same colour as our new IKEA Off White Kitchen Cupboards.

Do you know what colour we should use, maybe someone here has done the same thing.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Im sure Dulux do a paint colour matching service, you take them a sample of anything (cushion, paper, dress etc) and they scan it in and get the best match. you can have this made in a small sample size just to check before you go ahead.

    Trying to match whites/offwhites/cream shades is a nightmare, Ive tried myself, and theres such a small difference on the paint cards, even in tester pots, but a big difference when you start painting a wall!..the pounds ive spent on matchpots!!!!

    Just found this on the homebase website....

    Dulux paint colour matching*

    Would you like to colour match a paint colour to a household item, for example a cushion cover, a fabric swatch or even a hard surface item such as a plate? Take the item to the Dulux paint matching desk where we'll scan it and mix the paint, whilst you wait, in the finish of your choice.



    Finishes available include Vinyl Matt and Vinyl Silk, Soft Sheen, Once and Kitchen & Bathroom emulsion, High Gloss, Satinwood, Quick Drying Satin and Quick Drying Gloss, and Weathershield Smooth and Textured Masonry paint.



    For convenience, paint can sizes range from a 250ml tester pot up to a 5 litre can.

    HTH!
  • Thanks for that, I pop along to B&Q tomorrow.

    ...remember to take a cupboard door with ya!;)



    PS...make sure they do a proper scan colour matching service, and dont just show you the range of colour swatches they have near the mixing desk.
