Colour selection is fun yet draining. (Actually, all processes that involves deciding for your house is draining.) But what I found the hardest is deciding what shades of white paint to use inside the house. I also didn’t know that ceiling, mouldings and walls should be in different shades and finishes.
As a guide, ceiling should be the lightest in shade, in flat finish; trim and moldings in semi-gloss finish and the shade will depend if you want it to stand out or blend in your walls. But you can definitely have a glossy black ceiling if you like.
Colors have different undertones and all shades of white that you picked must compliment each other. This part I wasn’t quite sure. Lighting (artificial or natural) will also affect how you’ll perceive the color.
I tried to apply those things we know. And below is the result. If it’s successful or not, let me know! haha
Wall – Dulux Antique White USA
Trims & Mouldings – Dulux Whisper White
Ceiling – Dulux White on White
La Casa Laguerta 
I find this quite confusing also. Too many choices. Thanks for the tips! I don’t think you can really know if it is “right” until the flooring goes in. Looks like you have a good start though. I’d be interested to see the same view in different lights.
Yes that’s true Johanne, plus the stuff we’ll put inside the house. Thanks, will do an update once we can get in 🙂
If you are not happy with the colours under artificial lighting, when you move in, it might be worth thinking about using a different light bulb. Here is a quick guide to colour ‘temperature’ of lights. http://www.anewhouse.com.au/2015/01/light-colour/
Thanks for the advise Brian. I’m learning a lot from your blog!
