As the name suggests here, Almost White is a crisp off white shade with just a subtle hint of pale grey to provide the cool undertone people usually seek out. Almost White is the perfect choice when looking for a timeless white shade to neutralise warm light sources or maximise darker rooms due to the brightening effect of its cool base.
Almost White is ideal when used in a South or West facing room as it balances the brightness of the sunshine that these rooms bring and avoids the starkness you get from a brilliant white or a yellowy overload from the impact of sunlight on a warm toned off white. You will be left with a tranquil, breezy look which is perfect for rooms with lots of light and sun!
We would avoid using this shade in a north facing room as the cool toned light these rooms are prone too will reflect back a greater amount of grey or blue tones and make it look a lot cooler and darker.

The perfect off white is so hard to find so in our original colours launch we wanted to create a trio covering the ultimate warm, neutral and cool toned off whites. Often, selecting your perfect shade of white can be the most difficult colour decision (who knew white could be so tricky ey?!) as white can appear dramatically different due to many factors in the room - lighting, flooring, accessories and more! All of these will bring out the subtle undertones in your off white paint shade so you need to ensure you’re mindful of this when selecting the perfect white shade for your room! Honestly though, it’s really worth getting right as when done correctly, it can create a lovely, light, spacious and serene feeling in your room!
