Has anyone used white cotton emulsion paint by dulux, if so any good?

[Luv2chat2U]

I have just used timeless by dulux in the hallway and living room. I thought it would look more white however in some areas it has tints of yellow/cream depending on where the light is facing. I'm now considering painting remaining rooms using white cotton can anyone tell me if they have any experience of using this colour and what was the outcome..

Also what are your thoughts on which is better, dulux normal white or brilliant white?

Many thanks in advance.

We have just painted several rooms with Timeless on the walls and White Cotton on the ceiling. There is a subtle but definite difference as the ceilings are definitely whiter but it is not a bright white. Timeless looks different in different places. White in some rooms and more creamy in others. This is why we chose it though.
Hope that is helpful!

Hi thank you for your response, it was very helpful as you've used both! What was your preference?

I think it depends on the room and the property. Ours is old with low ceilings.
I like Timeless for the walls as I like the way it quietly picks up the colours around it so allows for continuity between rooms whilst making each room slightly different according to soft furnishings, flooring etc.
I could be talking rubbish (I am by no means an expert in interior design!), but that is how it looks to me.
It's so easy to get lost in all the different variations of white isn't it? I think there's almost too much choice!

I agree, definitely too much choice lol. You're advice has been great and you do sound very much like an interior designer. 🙂

I hope it helps you decide. As long as you love it, that is what matters!

I've just painted my sons room in white cotton and really pleased with it. Originally brought timeless but in his room it had a definite yellow tinge to it so we changed to white cotton which is a definite white but with a softness compared to pure brilliant white...exactly what we were aiming for.

I have now used timeless in my hall and with different lighting it appears more white and I don't see the yellow (not much direct light ). Hope that helps.

White cotton has a very slight grey tint to it, definitely no yellow. It's not as stark as pure brilliant white. Compared to timeless it is whiter/paler and less green-in my house the walls I've painted in timeless have a very slight green tint.

Many thanks for your comments... it does help.

I have white cotton in my bedroom, it's a very soft off white. I bought it on offer when I was renovating my house and they only had very few colours left. The woman in the shop helped me choose, she said white cotton comes from the 'warm' whites variety of dulux paints. I bought dulux white mist for our living room which came from the 'cool' whites variety and has very slight grey undertones. Seeing both together you can definitely tell which is the cool and which is the warm if that makes sense!

We have timeless and white cotton here. Much prefer white cotton and dis in fact reason our hall in white cotton after it was half painted timeless. I'm glad we did...its less cream more like white...just warmer

Sorry for typos...it should have read did in fact repaint...

Sons bedroom is white cotton - it’s lovely and rich.

Oh thank you so much for your comments, I actually went for timeless in the hallway and living room, it's ok, but I'm not I'm really in love with it. I may have to change the living room to white cotton. I'm dreading reprinting the repainting the hallway....

Typo repainting

Hmmmmm or Egyptian cotton.

I've got Egyptian cotton in my hallway, have to say I'm not in love with it. It looks quite dingy going up the stairs where there's not as much light. Having said that it's quite a warm colour and I have seen pictures where it looks amazing so maybe it's just certain rooms

Thank you keeping bees your comment has been helpful. I'm so indecisive but think I will stick to timeless....lol . I honestly can't be bothered to repaint. Lol
