Help! Trying to decide between 2 colours

After buying what feels like a hundred tester pots Ive got it down to 2 colours....... :cool:

Timeless or Jasmine White by Dulux

Does anyone have any advice of which one to go for?

I just cant decide!

PS its for a 2 bed flat

    We had Timeless throughout our last property, it was lovely and light but it did show scratches quite badly when our toddler at the time rubbed up against it! But you will get that with any light paint - I really liked it as a neutral colour!

    We painted jasmine in our bedroom, loved it so much it's now in our bathroom too and will go in our living room.

    Highly recommend it. :)

    Thanks for the advice :)

    Did it look really stark and bright though? Ive only painted a patch on my wall so its so hard to tell what the whole flat is going to look like!

    Thats a vote for each one now :o

    In the beginning I was set on timeless, went to the flat at lunchtime and now veering towards Jasmine. AAAAARRRGH

    Just keep looking at the tester areas (make sure you do them on different Walls - since next to and opposite a window will look quite different...).

    Tried both and went for neither... I have a lot of Barley White in my new house (warm and sunny), daffodil White in my bedroom, almond white in the hallway and landing... I am a beige kind of gal.... ;)

    Hi
    We have Timeless in our bedroom and I'm not sure I'm convinced!
    It's a south facing room which gets the sun most of the day. However, you really cannot tell the difference between the walls and the white ceiling and I like a bit more colour. Gonna have to wait a while before I
    can change it though...:)

    I bought a pot of timeless gloss for my woodwork around the flat and it cost me a fortune to have it mixed up at Brewers. Tbh it looks so similar to normal white that I wouldnt personally go with it again.

    For walls have a look at Dulux Natural Calico, I love this colour!
