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!

Dulux Timeless

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Dulux Timeless here - a chalky white.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks, will have look at all those!

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

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!

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

Dulux white cotton

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

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?

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.

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

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

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