So, I've just seen a heads up that apparently Dulux 5L Brilliant white (emulsion and silk) will be reduced to £5 this week (no idea if this is true... don't shot the messenger if it isn't!)
As I have a whole 4 bed house to decorate (once we finish gutting it, then put in the kitchen/utility/bathroom and floor) I thought 'oooh, great' as several rooms are also going to be replastered so will need white washing and I figured it might also work as an undercoat elsewhere being as the colour schemes I'm swaying towards are bland pale.
However. Then I see this: (apologies for the Fail link...)
Dulux Brilliant White turns yellow thanks to those pesky meddlers in the EU
Now. I'm thinking, if it does go on offer (and it's darn good price if it does) does this mean I'm better off not buying the paint for the jobs I've outlined? I mean, I don't want brilliant white on my walls (or anywhere really). But I don't want to end up with a mournful face like the lady in the editorial (and I will be careful not to follow her lead and definitely not repaint my woodwork in my jumper with no dust sheets to protect the carpet 
). And more importantly will the yellowing of the white effect the final colour of what I paint over the top (which is shaping up to be F&B).
What I'm saying is, should I just suck it up and buy a bloody expensive undercoat too and stop trying to save pennies where ever I can considering the size of the project cut corners?
(also, though, won't the EU directive effect all similar products?)
Actually, I may end up with a mournful face anyway if I have to buy expensive undercoat too!
Better start practising now...
