Red brick Edwardian house - White tie windows?

[BeginnerSAHM]

Hi all - I have to make a decision v quickly about what colour to paint the external woodwork of our house (i.e. Windows). I think pure brilliant white looks too harsh against the red Edwardian bricks but don't want to go too yellowy. What do you think about Farrow & Ball white tie? Looks almost white really, so not very brave but just want to minimise the stark white look.

Dulux Ivory White should fit the bill - we also have an Edwardian red-brick and I went through thousands a few 'off whites' before finding something that worked.

I think Wimborne white or Wevet might work then. But v happy with a dulux trade version if it's not brilliant white! Thanks again!

[BeginnerSAHM]

Thanks. Will have a think. Need to try testers fast i think. Getting a dulux copy anyway.

No... slipper satin is quite pinky/beigey. Wimborne white might work? Still a bit creamy though.

If you want a white that isn't brilliant white but isn't creamy then really just ask for Trade White...

[BeginnerSAHM]

Hmm - pointing looks quite yellow too... Maybe slipper satin?

[BeginnerSAHM]

Thanks miniepie! I'll tell husband to hold off instructing workmen...

White tie is really quite creamy/yellowy to my eyes (we have it in a bedroom and it's VERY different from the white woodwork)

We have Trade White on our woodwork, but that might be a little too white for you. I suggest Pointing? It's less creamy/yellowy while still not being at all stark.
