Hi everyone,
As in the title, we are searching for a soft white paint so go on all woodwork in our house. I’d really like something hardwearing, and not stark looking - that has been our main issue so far...
I’ll list the ones we’ve already tried below.
( Our house decor is a mixture of blues/greys/greens/cream and warm wood tones. It’s east/west facing so there’s lots of changing like during the day. All ceilings are Matt or silk PBW, but they aren’t stark looking at all so we presumed PBW would be fine for woodwork?!
Dulux PBW water-based gloss - looks blue/violet, even more so in shadow or artificial light
Bedec aqua satin PBW - same as dulux above
Leyland acrylic eggshell PBW - a softer white colour best out of all we’ve tried but I’m not sure about durability and it isn’t easy to get a nice smooth finish
F&B Wimborne white - It looked like a very creamy yellow, much like our current ancient oil glossed woodwork...
Benjamin Moore Chantilly lace - again we tested it as it looked like a slightly warm white on the colour card. In our house it looked like a cold light grey.
If anyone could suggest any paint we could try we would be so grateful! I feel like I’m just wasting money buying big tins from different companies as most don’t do a white sample pot.
Thanks very much!
