I'm after something just enough off white to contrast the woodwork and ceiling. Anyone found any good ones they like?

No offence, but if your woodwork is being glossed I wouldn't bother. With last years new regs regarding VOC's, it will soon be the same off-white colour as you choose for the walls. :mad:

However, if you have water-based paintwork then Dulux White Cotton seems to be a very popular off-white at the moment, if somewhat pale. I personally prefer their Timeless colour.
Crown do Aged White and Milk White which are both quite nice.
Some of the 'Old' or 'Antique' colours around can look a bit grubby in my eyes.

Of course, these are only my opinions based on what I have used.

As always, best to get it mixed in the trade version rather than off the shelf if you want the best finish. ;)
 
I agree alot of antique and off whites look really grubby especially on the woodwork. Grecian white from the dulux heritage range is nice but colour is a very personal thing

Generally look a bit lighter on the wall and the brighter the room the lighter it looks ... obviously :confused: !
