White & Neutral Colour Shades

White is white, right? Not so fast. The white and neutral colour spectrum is surprisingly far reaching, from brilliant white paint for the ultimate blank canvas to champagne and ivory paint for an off-white with a touch of something special. Not forgetting cream paint for a traditional neutral that lends itself beautifully to country-inspired decorating schemes. Which neutral will you decide to use?

Dark Whites & Neutrals

Darker neutral tones will add warmth and cosiness to your home. Try taupe paint for a dark neutral with a hint of grey and brown, or beige paint or oatmeal paint for an earthy neutral. We'd be lying if we said that magnolia paint wasn't still a favourite, particularly in rooms that are subject to a lot of wear and tear. Don't be afraid to mix and match dark neutrals with lighter shades too.

Light Whites & Neutrals

Lighter shades of off white paint form the perfect backdrop in any room in your home. Dulux Rock Salt, with a slight grey undertone, is one of the most popular off white paints and does a good job of neutralising warm light that floods into south-facing rooms. For a warmer white, try Dulux Jasmine White or Dulux Almond White.
