To ask for your whitish paint recommendations

[Flowerbot]

I want to repaint the short corridor in my flat. I’m thinking white, and would be interested to hear if you have any white or very light favourite paints - thanks!

[HardAsSnails]

Dulux Timeless

[PookieSnackenberger]

For pure white paint you can't beat Dulux Super Matte Trade paint. It disguises every blemish and can be easily retouched.

Favourite pale colour is Cornforth White by F&B. You can get this matched by a Leyland Trade paint stockist. It's not quite as nice but a good compromise if money is tight or the area is large.

Dulux (I think) cotton white. Really soft and lovely

[NorthCoast]

Farrow & Ball White Tie or Crown Milk White for a cheaper option (currently doing masses of woodwork in it and it looks really good).

[Bunbunbunny]

2nd timeless by dulux, cornflour white or Wimborne white by f&b is nice. How much traffic do you have in the hallway? If it's heavy don't use f&b it's a pain to touch up

[McTufty]

Depends what you mean by white because Cornforth White is gorgeous but very obviously a grey not a white. I agree White Tie, or Pointing for F&B whites.

[Flowerbot]

I’ve got a toddler so up to about two and a half feet up is going to get grubby

[PookieSnackenberger]

I think the OP asked for white or very pale colours.

[RunningBetty]

Dulux Timeless here - a chalky white.

[McTufty]

Very true @pookie! I suppose what I should have said is I don’t think Cornforth White is pale, at least it doesn’t look it on our East facing living room.

[Flowerbot]

McTufty thanks yes I agree, it’s a lovely colour but too dark for the area I want to paint

[FuzzyCustard]

Little Greene "Linen Wash". It's the colour of milk, so white but not if you put it against Brilliant White, for example.

[Becles]

Dulux parchment - a non magnolia pale yellowish ish with some depth

[sparechange]

Dulux Rock Salt in diamond + matt finish

A lovely soft colour and the finish will take any sort of bashing and fingerprints and knocks

You have to go to a trade/professional place to get it, rather than B&Q but it is totally worth it for areas like hallways which get easily scuffed

[Thiswillbemyusername]

I've used dulux light and space frosted dawn on my hallway. I love it

[Flowerbot]

Thanks, will have look at all those!

[Ellendegeneres]

Bridal veil from the paint counter at b&q. Love it

[blackteasplease]

I've nothing useful to say, but I remember the horror of choosing whitish paint for the bathroom! Just got snow blindness looking at them all!

[Someoneasdumbasthis]

Dulux timeless comes in kitchen and bathroom variety so super durable and washable. It’s a lovely soft white.

[Ollivander84]

Dulux white cotton

[SolemnlySwear2010]

Another for Dulux Timeless. I went for it in the endurance range for my little girls room.

Its a really soft white and cleans up brilliantly

[KnockMeDown]

I'm looking at paint for our living room, which is north facing and quiet dark. Am intrigued by all the recommendations for Dulux Timeless, it looks very similar to Magnolia?

[DontCallMeCharlotte]

We have Dulux Timeless too. It's much softer than brilliant white and nothing like magnolia. Chose it having seen it in a friend's house Definitely recommend.

[Pumpkintopf]

Another vote for Dulux timeless, and farrow and ball white tie

[TitaniasCloset]

Dulux Jasmine white is lovely, in a silk finish for hardwearing areas.

I need to look up this dulux rock salt paint, sounds interesting.
