I understand it has a teeny smigeon of red in it.

Awesome!!! As long as it doesn't throw yellow...I'm happy :)

I was going to go with a very light grey colour...but seeing as my tiles are light grey, I'm thinking that white walls will look better....Hope I'm making the right decision...I will do a feature wall in the grey colour

Our whole house is Dulux Natural White. I love it. It's "warm" enough that the space doesn't look sterile / hospital-esque, but it's still got that nice "crisp" whiteness to it.

Hi italiangal001 Dulux Natural White has a touch of red to warm it up but without a vivid white to contrast with, it will look white on your walls. It should go with most shades of grey, cool or warm, although if you chose a green grey it would make the red in Natural White look more obvious. Photos please when you're finished.

hagan_38...thanks for the photos :) The photo looks like the wall throws yellow..maybe it's just the way the photo was taken?

What is another nice white that isn't too starchy looking ?

I love cool whites...but not ones that throw blue or look too hospital like - Any idead of names od any white Dulux colours? We will do ceilings in Vivid white (which is very white - like liquid paper)

I was reading somewhere that someone did their ceiling in half strength Natural White..was that you blgreader?

A very liveable colour and has a degree of warmth about it. If you are unsure, buy a sample pot, 2 coats on a piece of board and move it around the house at different times of the day. It does look good with Vivid White wood work and ceiling.

I hired a colour consultant and consulted an interior designer to help us pick which white. In the end i went with the suggestion from our painter, who paints new white wall houses day on day.

The best thing we did was use the same white on the walls and the ceiling (have squares set ceilings. Honestly, I believe most people over think this issue. When I look at our house now, I realise that we have very little wall visible, as mostly windows, kitchen or covered with furniture.

So if i do natural white walls...should i do the ceilings Vivid white....Or is it best to do 1/2 strength Natural White ceilings? I am having Shadow Line (Very modern style house)

Get paint formulated for ceilings, for that purpose.

Yeah i will, I have awesome painters...but I'm more concerned about what colour to do

Girl, to see true colours, you could try wearing a tall gold shiny headdress, or a skirt made from an upturned laundry basket covered in newspaper strips.

what did you end up doing Italian Girl?

Yes, what did you end up doing, Italian girl? lol. I’ve been looking at the same colour 😀

I think the more modern look would be to do the ceilings and walls the same colour white. Follow Zest’s advice and paint up some sample boards and move them around. I just painted a room Whisper White and I love that colour but it has a westerly aspect and is throwing more yellow than expected. Natural White is Dulux”s most popular white so you probably can’t go too wrong with it but it’s so personal. Finally, don’t rely on posted photos. Your phone or computer screen has all sorts of colour bias that makes it fraught for judging colour.

Does natural white suit a black carpet in the main bedroom
