I'm looking for some coloured exterior paints for a wood surface... different shades of green, black and a glow in the dark green or black. They are being used on a children's wooden play tower so need to withstand all weathers. Which brands to outdoor glow in the dark paints?

Comments (1)Hi there...looking for advice on paint colours. Im thinking the main colour would look good in a chalky white...what do you think would work best for the trim..window surround etc...any advice appreciated. Excuse the mess of the exterior. For some reason it wontvallow me to attach a picture. Our windows are anthracite grey and its a narrow terrace house. Thanks...See MoreWhich camoflauge-y green/gray color for exterior?
Comments (1)Hi there - did you manage to choose? I think you may have accidentally posted a picture of the house with only one of the potential colour mock-ups you mention, but if you're still deliberating over which colour to go for would love to see the others!...See MorePaint colours for new house....help needed!
Comments (0)Hi all, Need to decide on colours for our new house quickly (4 bed semi in a new development) and as I am a complete novice looking for some sound advice please. I was hoping to get into some paint shops and get some advice and samples but avoiding as much as possible due to Covid 19. So apologies in advance for all the questions! Painting will be done by the builder and the only instructions are that we "can pick up to 4 neutral colours from the Dulux range which will be mixed in standard matt". He has suggested that Shale White, Savon Grey, Warm Stove or Tempting Taupe are popular colours so far. House has an east/west orientation with the front of the house facing (sitting room) east and the back of the house (kitchen) facing west. I have done some initial research on best colours for west facing kitchen and it seems to suggest that white is a good option maybe with pink undertones? We are going for a Kashmir kitchen with a grey island and white counter tops as shown in the picture below. We are going for laminate flooring in the hall, sitting and kitchen and I like the one on the left below. What paint colour would work best in the kitchen with our flooring and kitchen colours? For the sitting room as it is east facing with the laminate floor above has anybody got some good tips on what might work well? Neutral with shades of green or blue? For the downstairs bathroom I have read that white is a good option for darker (no window) bathrooms. We will be getting the tile below in the corner on the floor and the wall tile behind the toilet and sink covering half of the wall. The two bathrooms upstairs will be tiled. For the hall downstairs and the landing upstairs presume you would go with one colour throughout? Again is a white colour a good option or would grey work equally well? Finally for the bedrooms would you recommend to go all the same neutral colour initially (as we are limited to 4 paint choices throughout the house) and then we can paint individual rooms afterwards when the 3 kids start demanding their own colours. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shane...See Moreliving room paint colours - suggestions appreciated
Comments (1)What a space! How about considering a white, or off-white, or alternative near neutral, before selecting cream? If you do choose cream, let it be because you love it in your space, rather than thinking it your only option. View paint chips before sampling in your space, to see which best fits with your floors and lighting before sampling further. Pulling one colour up over the walls and across the ceiling will blur the boundaries and add to a sense of airiness. Here you can compare the key attributes of one colour over another. Which Hue Family does it belong to and where within that Hue Family does it sit? (Hue) Which appears lighter? (Value) Which is more neutral? (Chroma) Which reflects the most light?

6 years agoHi Rachel thanks so much for all your advice. I'm definitely going to look into that :) I'm not painting it exactly like the image, I'm actually thinking of doing a large zigzag style using tape (something like my new image). I'll post photos when it's completed :)

4 years agoCould do with a bit of touching up but this is because I was impatient to paint the shed when I first bought it. Ideally you should let tanalised timber ‘breathe’ for a few weeks or months so that all the stuff inside the wood can come to the surface apparently. As you can see on the close up the paint has separated in the grooves but I think this is more due to seasonal weather when the wood naturally expands in cold and shrinks in warmer weather. Otherwise it just needs brushing off and a wipe down. The paint itself has held up very well and would highly recommend it. I noticed your other thread and others have recommended Cuprinol garden shades, I do too it’s very similar. Sadolin Superdec (tinted range) has much greater choice in colours tho (I used Atlantic blue). Here’s photos, excuse the gloominess, it just started raining (p.s. Shed on the right is due for the skip).
