Paint colour advice

Hi all

Can anyone recommend a warm off white emulsion with a hint of yellow. I seem to end up spending a fortune on match pots... Not very money saving!

Thank you good people:)

  • Primrose white? Or you could go into paintmixing station/store with some cloth in the colour you like and see if they can mix up something for you.

    I've just used Dulux Timeless in our dining room, Not that yellowy but a warm shade.

    Agree, Dulux Timeless is a lovely shade of off-white.

    We have crown period colours aged white, pretty much the same as farrow and ball new white. It's a kind of warm white, looks quite creamy in sunlight. Totally Matt finish.

    Have you had a look at the British standard colours? (Google search BS 4800)

    If you see one you like it wouldn't matter which brand you buy as it would be the same paint in the tin - can be useful incase you do run out and you dont need to worry about which brand you get.
    Been there, done that and Ebay'd the t shirt. :beer:
