Warm white paint colours

We used Jasmine white on an inside door after repairing it. Perfect match for white that has gone off a bit.. I intend to use it in my lounge hall and stairs.. also lavender white is lovely colour for bedroom.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I’ve now chosen my paint colours Dulux Summer Linen for the living room, hall and stairs. Blush pink for my bedroom. Decorator coming end of November. I hope I like the colours.

I do like Portland stone pale but even that might be too dark in our long living room.. but I was going very dark green… oh I don’t know 🤷‍♀️

I'd order a colour chart online from Little Green.

We have clay pale and China clay (again in the pale) - the second (I think) is the slightly cool pinkish one and is stunning in all lights!

Be wary - many off-whites are a bit sort-of "dirty yellow" or magnolia creamy.

I know what you mean by yellow tones, that’s my worry.
If we a going to spend a lot on paint I want it spot on.
The clay sounds lovely. Is it a greenish tone?

Again watching reviews, little Green not brilliant at applying but for all I know these decoraters probably work for Dulux.
I know years ago I helped a friend paint with a dark green LG paint, went on like a camouflage design, patchy as heck. Maybe the surface wasn’t brilliant.

Mt61 try getting your shop to mix the colour in a different brand. I found almost perfect matches for off-beat Little Green colours - NOT mustards though!
Nobody seems to be able to match those!

Thanks NS. I did DH York White mixed in say Johnstone? years ago. loved the colour bought tester in DH, quite peachy peach 😳

Watching decorators views on Dulux heritage v Farrow & ball, most mostly say DH is easier to work with.
Farrow & ball needs at least one under coat, 2/3 coats. We have used raw cashmere & ochre white on upstairs panels. I must say it looks lovely. I think we will stick with Dulux heritage.

Looking at DH Drab on one wall, but don’t know what light tone to go for on the other three.

I've just remembered the shade we used "Portland Stone" which comes in three depths of colour.

Little green, costs a fortune. Lovely colours though

It’s expensive but goes a long way as it’s highly pigmented.
It looks good for years and has no smell.

*Silent white* by Little Greene is a lovely off-white shade

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.

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

My kitchen walls are Jasmine White. It’s a lovely warm white.

Yes! another big fan of Little Greene that was the paint used in redecorating our house, much better than Farrow and Ball which professional decorators don't seem to like much. I know we used a really great bone coloured white as a contrast to a feature wall in our guest bedroom, but can't remember what colour it was, I do seem to have a sample pot of Twist in the cupboard but it wasn't that one. Check out Sago's link above, they have a lot of warm whites in their colour palattes I'm sure you'll find one that suits you.

I only ever use Little Greene Paint.
It’s worth every penny.
They do Whitening and Silent White among others.

I definitely recommend Lick paint. Their website is so informative giving you all the tones that are added to each shade and what works best with them. It is very good quality but if you can't afford it taken the colour card to the desk at B & Q and ask them to make a copy.

I painted a largish square with milk white from dulux and left it for a couple of days in my brightest room and one in my darkest room. I was absolutely blown by the subtle colour changes throughout the day and with the lights on at night. The light at dusk made it stand out as a light green which almost gave me that leafy forest feeling which i loved but during the day that effect disappeared. Bit of magic in my house as i used it throughout

auro 321 not 21

auro 21

We first used that in 2010 and it is a warm white and very easy to touch up. I had the whole of my new house painted in auro 321 in 2021. Ceilings and walls, knowing that I can easily touch up areas myself. The white never changes over time and I used spare auro 321 when I sold my last house, pulled screws out, filled holes and the spare paint made the match perfect

Colour is added to my house with pictures and cushions etc. I love that shade of white and will use it forever

Shez if you use tester pots, put the paint on all walls. Sunshine, shadow, electric light etc can make a great difference to colour and tone

Silent white by Little Greene is a lovely off-white shade

Good advice thanks all.
Off to B&Q tomorrow for more testers.
