Neutral wall colour for a rental flat

[Nicole4427]

I have a modest rental flat which needs repainting throughout. It was magnolia and the last tenant painted half of it in putty grey. Not the best look so I'd like to repaint it in something neutral. I've seen a colour mentioned called Antique white but that might be old hat by now. I can drop in to the local B&Q to get a sample pot but browsing colours is out of the question at the moment. Has anyone repainted recently and can recommend colours and finishes?

Dulux White Mist. A very very pale grey, more of an off white. Looks good in north and south facing rooms.

I've used Dulux Jasmine White and Dulux Timeless - both looked v nice IMO. Both paired with plain white ceilings/covings.

I don’t think you can go wrong with timeless

As a renter, something pale, coo in tone but wipable! Get a wipeable paint! My kitchen is painted in amatt emulsion, I wiped it with a damp cloth to get off a grease splatter and the paint came off. In a kitchen! The stress of trying to clean grubby fingerprints off the living room wall without taking the paint with it...

Dulux trade natural hessian

Second Timeless

I have used both timeless and natural hessian, I liked timeless best. As someone both renting and renting their house out I second a tough finish. The house I am renting is a nightmare for marking the walls.

Thank you so much, I think Timeless is the one in a wipeable finish. Off for a sample tomorrow.

Yes, I had timeless in my kitchen and hall. I thought it wasn't that tough a finish until I moved into a house with normal finish.
