How to select your Dulux white

We know all too well that the task of starting a new colour project may at times seem overwhelming.

That's why we've curated three white palettes to show you the differences between warm, neutral and cool to make it easier for you to find the right white.

Cool whites

Cool whites are great for adding a modern or minimalist edge to a space. They often carry blue or grey undertones and are useful in tempering bright light. These colours are softer to the eye and can give you a feeling of a larger space within the room. Select a square below to view a cool white!
