Haha. I love the way people say they are being "different" and "lashing out" and are using different shades of beige and white.
I'd love to see you going crazy with colour!!!
Hills girl- I do like grey pebble. I did look at that for my home.
dtraeger- I'ts a warm grey which is not gloomy at all. There are so many different shades of grey. I like the warm tone greys.
Hmm thinking now. Next house might try something different.

Its funny, I find beige a bit gloomy.

Its great we all like different things, or else we would put the paint stores out of business if everyone only liked Hogsbristle
I am happy with Grey Pebble so far, we havent finished the house yet, but so far I like it.
Hi Painter, what do you mean by its harder to apply that Dulux 101? Don't both just roll on? (Im a pretty crap painter, so i always go over it multiple times
, maybe thats why i find both are just as difficult )
Antique White USA or Chalk White USA every time.
Grey is not a colour, it's an undercoat.
As an aside, how on earth do they keep thinking up names for colours. Every year a whole bunch more come out.
This is my ppor kitchen

Cant quite tell in the photo, but the bench is white with stone fleck in it and the cupboards are dark grey. For this reason I dont really want to paint in grey but the hog bristle and white shades mentioned in this thread would be a bit boring.
What other colours would go with this? The ceilings and cornices were painted white as part of the build (I dont know what shade) so im only painting walls.

Taubmans Living proof silk has teflon in it and it does tend to run a bit,it seems to slide as you roll where as Dulux 101 more solid based.Hi Painter, what do you mean by its harder to apply that Dulux 101? Don't both just roll on? (Im a pretty crap painter, so i always go over it multiple times
Use a very fine roller and the finish is amazing.
Another thing to consider if you are using white trims,make sure the gloss is the same color as the ceiling color and then gloss your manhole cover and frame.
PaInter, speaking of teflon, do you use the tefton coated brushed/rollers??
I've found the Sureline teflon coated brushes to be awsome, they are fairly pricey, but think they are worth investing it..
