So painting after building works - I have been suggested little greene shorting as a great white for the kitchen /living space and would do the same up a ha and stairways of a 3 storey house so a lot of paint needed probably around 50 litres.
My builder suggested that dulux do a colour match and a diamond finish which is the equivalent of little greene intelligent. Is of really the same kind of finish snd a colour match. Little green is £90 for 5 litres where as looking at £67 for. Dulux. Thoughts please ?

DH owns an independent DIY shop that sells both. He says Dulux will be more hard wearing, but it will also be a bit shinier than LG. LG paint is generally more chalky in it's finish, it's only 5% gloss.

We are currently painting our kitchen Slaked Lime. We love LG but hope this info helps you with your decision.

We used both LG Intelligent Matt and Dulux Diamond Matt when decorating last year and they have held up similarly well. Much better than the Crown trade we used in another room.

I think that if you were using a colour, LG would be hands down the best option, as the quality of pigment is far superior to almost all other paints.

But with white? It comes down to the finish, and how much light you want/need/have got already from windows bouncing round in the space

Get the Little Greene.
I have found their paint is worth every bit of the money... lovely, lovely quality. I use it every time now.
