Have had brilliant white through the house for years now. The lounge, hallway & stairs need freshening up. We like the white but it just gets so grubby so quickly.

A couple of family members have Egyptian Cotton & Timeless in their houses which look nice but as I have recently tried testers in these, the Egyptian Cotton looks way too dark, which is surprising as our lounge is biggish & gets a lot of light in & the timeless looks quite yellow.

I’m afraid I’ve got in that rabbit hole of looking for the perfect ‘off-white’. I don’t want a grey toned white nor do I want it to look like magnolia!

I’m not looking at Farrow & Ball, it’ll be too expensive, DH will never agree! I’ve seen Johnstones do one called ‘Ivory Spray’ - anyone got this?

Dulux Heritage Grecian White

A lovely warm and cozy off-white

Glad you've decided!

We went through this a few months ago for dd1's bedroom and settled on Dulux Almond White.

Did you choose Almond White over Nutmeg White? Interested to know how they differ.

No. Didn't try out Nutmeg White as that was too dark.

We tried Jasmine White, Magnolia and Natural Calico and preferred Almond White out of all of them.

Almond white is paler than nutmeg white, and less mauve.
