Colour guide
Start with the light
White has many nuances, from cooler shades with subtle grey or blue undertones to warmer tones with hints of cream and stone. The light in your home plays an important part in how each colour appears, influencing its warmth and character throughout the day.
Our designers look at which way your kitchen faces before choosing a shade.

Choosing your shade
Light, aspect and colour
Whites change more with the light than almost any other colour. Warm whites suit east and north-facing rooms; crisper whites hold up in south-facing kitchens. Layer tones such as putty, chalk and warm grey for depth.
- North-facing: warmer tones such as cream, taupe, sage and clay
- East and south-facing: soft blues, warm whites, most colours
- Paint a large swatch and move it around the room through the day
