    We have whisper white in our house too and it goes well with our dark wood furniture and choc couch. We also tried out the whisper white colour in the tau mans paint and the taubmans paint is a nicer finish.

    this is so confusing! doing my head in.

    dh wants to take the antique white and get a tint put in it (cos he has 15litres of it and is a tighta**e) so i need to pick a dulux colour.

    little o- would you say that dulux chalk usa is the closest to intermezzo?

    DH is a builder and all they use on all houses is Whisper White. Good luck choosing - so tricky!

    Ginger, we've got Solver all through our house, it's really good, durable paint. Trying to find the colour chip to remember the name, ours is a very very light cream, doesn't hang out at all, with the doors all done in a half-tint.

    G, we have only ever used Solver paints on our house and Dulux is too expensive for what it is, considering that it is just paint. We can't fault the colour of the quality of the paint at all.

    dh went to bunnings this morning and they said he could take the antique white in there and add some other colour to it, which is good. now, just to pick the colour.....
    I'm actually liking the look of pastry half.

    Pastry is an orange based paint, is that ok for you? Just though you mentioned you didn't like peachy before.
    Is your antique white the dulux antique white USA? I do think that looks good in a full strength. Other options are
    Chalk USA
    White swan
    Off white

    i think pastry is too orange too, but dh likes it.
    yes it is dulux antique white usa.
    what is the difference between the antique white and the whites you mentioned?
    i am really looking for a rich creamy colour.
    thanks for all your help by the way! i really appreciate it.

    White swan is a more like antique white, off white and chalk are a little more creamy.
    I don't think you'll go wrong with antique white, maybe warm it up with a warm creamy brown based paint as a feature wall?

    Deluxe - Hogs Bristle 3/4.

    You can always add coded or taupe feature walls later if you wants too.... Hogs Bristle is a very popular base colour for many current new homes - tends to work with everything.

    Good luck.
