What I’ve done in the past is buy a few of the little ‘try me’ pots, apply them all over sheets of white A4 paper, and then hold them up in the room that needs painting, to see which looks best.

Farrow and Ball - Wimborne White - No 239

A good range of other F&B whites is available

They do tester pots if you want to try it out first

Good paint but so expensive

Narrow it down to a few shades that you like, then purchase the tester pots and try it on your walls.

It is the only way to get a true sense of how the colour will look.

Thanks I’ll look at the Heritage range.
Timeless a bit to white looking for more colour.

Yes I thought it might be too stark

I once used Jasmine White, which had the faintest warm tinge of yellow. It worked very well.

Dulux heritage has some nice whites. Not cheap but great coverage.

You & me both. What about timeless white?

My small house is soon to be decorated. I’m trying to choose a warm white shade to paint my living room, stairs and landing. Most of the Dulux shades seem quite beige. Has anyone got a recommendation for a colour they’ve used? Not greys.
