Anyone??

Thanks so much :-) we are pretty at I love on natural white, even had a colour consultant out who said it would be the best fit. However we got our painter to do a sample and it was too warm, so he did samples of half and quarter which were much better but still hard to know which to go with! So hoping someone has experience with these :-)

Colour/paint will look different in different contexts. It totally depends on what other colour it is juxtaposed to (as demonstrated in image below), the proportion of colour and the degree and source of light (natural or artificial etc). The only way to be 100% sure is to physically eyeball samples in context, and a reasonable size sample, as colour will appear lighter or darker and throw different tones the bigger or smaller the sample is.

I had the hallway painted Natural White Qtr, and the loungeroom Natural White Half on walls and quarter on ceiling. I find in the loungeroom it’s a tiny bit creamy but I am facing east and south, so whether that affects the colour as when the sun is shining in I like it.

Great thanks! Did you paint the hallway quarter as it gets less natural light? Leaning towards quarter for the whole house, just to be safe as I don’t want it creamy and will have very white trims, but also don’t want anything that throws too cool a colour (like lexicon) as I don’t want it looking dingy in shaded natural light! I’m told natural white is the whitest of the warmer whites :-)

I would go the quarter strength, it’s more a neutral soft milky colour. Just remember if you are painting over a colour to do an undercoat first as these whites don’t have many pigments to truly cover an existing colour, that isn’t white already. That’s what I’ve been told and our painter did just that.

Just to throw a spanner into the works .... Dulux Snowy Mountain Qtr strength. Natural white was too cream in my house - it had a slight tinge of pink! Colour consultant suggested SMQ. Happy with the result. Definitively not cream and definitely not blue/grey like Lexicon (at least in my house)

Heather, would you say the quarter is a warm white but still fresh? Colour consultant suggested full of half but haven’t seen a photo of those two that don’t look too warm... even sample against the ceiling white looks to warm in my house..

Just don’t want a white that looks dibgybor washed out so hoping quarter will still look fresh ☺️

We are repainting all our interiors in full strength natural white. It has some warmth to it without it being cream. I haven't tried it in quarter or half though.

Sarah, yes I would say Natural White Qtr is on the warmer side compared to Vivid White. Get a test pot (the smallest tin is one litre due to the percentage of tints).

But it’s not too creamy in quarter strength!

Hi Sarah did you end up using the natural white quarter? Do you like the result? I'm facing the same delimma and all the sample pots are confusing me even more!

Quarter strength is a beautiful milky white. Half strength starts going a bit creamy.

Thanks Heather! I really needed the advice :)

Hi Jen K , which colour did you end up choosing? I am in the exact same dilemma as you are! Have gone through 8 sample pots and am now leaning towards natural white, just don't know what strength 1/4 or 1/2.

Hi Yasmina I ended up using vivid white as I really wanted something with no underlying tint. Always wanted vivid white from the start but was worried that it might be too white/stark. Tried on a wall and loved it as my house wasn't that light filled and the VW was perfect. good luck :)
