Common Questions About Paint Colours

What's the most popular white paint in Melbourne?

Dulux Natural White is the most popular choice for whole-house painting in Melbourne. Its warm, balanced tone works beautifully in our changing light conditions.

Should I use warm or cool whites?

It depends on your home’s style and lighting. Warm whites like Natural White suit traditional homes and spaces with timber floors. Cool whites like Lexicon Quarter work better in modern, minimalist spaces with lots of natural light.

Where can I see these colours in person?

Visit Bunnings, Dulux Trade Centres, Taubmans Professional Trade Centres, Haymes Paint Shops, or independent paint retailers across Melbourne. Most stores have sample pots and colour catalogues available.

Can I use interior paint colours outside?

Yes, you can use an interior paint colour outside, but you must use exterior-grade paint formulated with that colour. Interior paints aren’t formulated for UV resistance and weather exposure. For exteriors, choose colours from exterior ranges like Taubmans Endure, Dulux Weathershield, or Haymes Solashield.

How do I test paint colours before committing?

Buy sample pots and paint large swatches on different walls. View them at different times of day — morning, afternoon, and evening light can change how colours appear.
